READER REPORT: ‘Good Trouble Lives On’ rally in The Junction

Thanks to Stewart L. for the photos and report on today’s rally as part of gatherings nationwide in memory of U.S. Rep. John Lewis, the civil-rights activist who said “good trouble” was needed to cause change:

I was at today’s West Seattle protest, with a crowd of about 150 people causing good trouble at the Alaska Junction. We had a drum line and the impassioned crowd was really into it.

Rep. Lewis died on this date in 2020 at age 80. The West Seattle rally was a late addition to today’s daily event list.

      Hey Lauren thanks! I was one of the drummers. :) thanks to a few guys who brought five gallon buckets, two metal cans and sticks. Was a lot of fun! Maybe we will see you on the drum line next time! :)Cat – West Seattle
