6:16 PM: Thanks to Jeremy Smith for that photo, and we’ll likely be adding a few more. In the patch of blue sky over downtown, clearly visible from north West Seattle, a plane has been skywriting BLACK LIVES MATTER. (There might have been a previous attempt- Brian Presser had tipped us to a skywriting attempt earlier this afternoon.) More to come.

ADDED 6:46 PM: Via Twitter, @joaquinuy put together photos of all three words:

    I much prefer this over that damn Geico plane.

    I would prefer none of it and reduce the footprint. I reduced mine today left the car parked. How about you?

    I’m a keep the car at home kind of person myself, but this message is well worth the footprint.

    Is it within our current gun rights to shoot down the Geico plane? ;)

    I haven’t seen sky writing since I was a kid. Pretty cool! Wish it lasted longer in the sky…

    So how many people look up at the GEICO ad and say “I’m calling them tomorrow to buy insurance”.

    Beautiful! I support this movement 100%.

Sorry, comment time is over.
