Hundreds of armed residents — including local Proud Boys — occupied Snohomish WA First Street in response to false Antifa threats, heavily armed and openly drinking alcohol. I captured these events locally as they unfolded over multiple days and contributed the stills used in the documentary film “What happened on 1st St” in Snohomish WA.
