The thousands of people facing Seattle Municipal Court arrest warrants got a chance to straighten things out Thursday, but only 20 of them showed up.

That result wasn’t unexpected, according to the organizers with the court and the defender’s office.

The event at the Yesler Community Center was deliberately chill, said Seattle Municipal Court Chief Clerk John Sattler.

No police, just an opportunity to meet with public defenders and court employees, get some advice and a court date.

“So we can go over their options, let them know how they can easily resolve these matters if possible, and also connect them with a public defender and a lot of other services that the court provides,” Sattler said.
