WOMXN’S MARCH ON SEATTLE: ‘Solidarity march’ in West Seattle Junction

IMG_8317

This morning, we heard from Tom, whose family had decided not to go to the Womxn’s March on Seattle but wanted to invite others to join a small “solidarity march” around The Junction. We caught up with his group as they headed out from California/Edmunds around quarter till 1, after the sun had emerged from the clouds.

As for the main march downtown – per SPD, after more than two hours, the last of the marchers have finally left Judkins Park, as the front of the group arrived at the end of the route more than 3 miles away. The crowd has been estimated at well over 100,000. No incidents reported along the way, we can say from monitoring police frequencies and other emergency channels. We’ll have an update later with photos from participants (got a photo to share? editor@westseattleblog.com or text 206-293-6302 – thank you!).

    S- those of us with munchkins had differing reasons for not taking them to the full march.  This was an impromptu gathering (really, 2 hrs notice) to march in solidarity around the junction with our kids.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
