Activists target Seattle area homeowners for eviction citing 'sovereign' property rights

A group of activists have been targeting residents in North Seattle area suburbs, presenting homeowners with official-looking documents, and proclaiming that they are the rightful owners of their waterfront homes. In one case, they told a homeowner she was being evicted. 

According to KIRO 7 news "Edmonds detectives say the group knocked on doors in the most upscale neighborhoods in Woodway and Edmonds, identifying themselves as Moorish Sovereign Citizens. They carry official-looking documents, say they own the property and announce they're moving in. "They have basically come to say that they're from this particular group and they're there to repossess the home and want the people to vacate the premises," said Edmonds police Sgt. Josh McClure."
