An estimated 100,000 packed Hempfest at Myrtle Edwards Park this weekend. And while it created a traffic headache on Elliott Avenue West and surrounding streets, police said there were no major incidents.

Police monitored the crowd -- at one point separating a preacher and another man in a heated argument. But late Sunday night, Seattle police spokeswoman Renee Witt hadn't heard of anything more serious.

Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen said there didn't appear to be any major medical calls.

Last week, Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson said Hempfest is one of the easier events for police because of "great cooperation between the organizers and SPD."

A month after the 2003 Hempfest, Seattle voters passed an initiative making the investigation, arrest and prosecution of marijuana offenses the lowest law enforcement priority when the drug was intended for adult personal use.

Medical marijuana has been legal in Washington since 1998.
