The University of Washington reported pro-Palestinian protesters caused more than $1 million in damage to the university’s Interdisciplinary Engineering Building during a violent demonstration Monday night.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office told KOMO News on Tuesday it was aware of 31 people who were arrested and booked into the King County jail in connection with the protest and occupation of the engineering building on the UW campus. 

The self-described pro-Palestinian protesters barricaded themselves inside the nearly brand new Interdisciplinary Engineering Building on campus Monday evening. The building, which just opened with a "soft launch" to students in March, was funded in part with $50 million from the Washington state legislature.
