Some state lawmakers are trying to make it a felony crime to intentionally obstruct Washington highways.

This comes after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the expressway leading to Sea-Tac International Airport for three hours Monday. Some Sea-Tac travelers trying to catch flights left their cars and opted to walk to the terminal in hopes of making their flights.

Cars and people blocked the roadway - including a group of protesters who used a piping device called a "Sleeping Dragon" to lock their arms together.

The group is demanding a permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, and their protest was part of a larger coordinated effort nationwide to protest the war in Gaza together on April 15.
