Occupy Tacoma protests near Port of Tacoma

Occupy protesters launched an informational protest at noon today at the Port of Tacoma Road bridge over the Route 509 freeway. Though the original plan by the Occupy movement was to shut down ports up and down the West Coast, it appears that the Tacoma group plans only informational activities today, unfurling signs on the overpass and passing out fliers to truckers.
