The blockade in downtown Olympia, Wash., put up by anti-fracking activists. In a peaceful protest spearheaded by members of local indigenous tribes, activists planned to disrupt rail shipments related to the hydraulic fracturing business in North Dakota. “We have more anarchists,” Lucas told The Post. Beginning in 2012, the Port of Olympia contracted to take shipments of proppants from China, the Olympian has reported. “Their beef is really with the port, not with the city.”This week, port officials offered to meet with the activists to discuss the situation.
