SEATTLE (AP) — King County deputies have evicted nine people from a Seattle house they moved into as part of the Occupy Seattle movement.

KING reports a SWAT team with an armored vehicle was on hand for the Wednesday morning eviction but everyone left peacefully and no weapons were found.

The house in the city’s Central District, near 23rd and Jefferson, has an out-of-town owner and was in the process of being remodeled.
