Seventeen people were arrested, police said.
Police said about 150 demonstrators and onlookers gathered for Tuesday night's hourlong rally at the U.S. post office.
About 20 counterdemonstrators waved Old Glory, sang the national anthem and chanted, "No more burning."
Officers ordered demonstrators to disperse after fights broke out, punches were thrown and some people were wrestled to the ground.
"I can't tell the fascists from the communists," said Gary Oules, 54, of Seattle, who had stopped to observe.
