West Seattle, Washington
08 Saturday
11:32 AM: Thanks to Ian for the first photos. The “No Kings” gathering in the West Seattle Junction is happening now, an informal rally for those not planning to go to the main Seattle rally downtown.
11:37 AM: Hundreds of participants are crossing the intersection on the “Walk All Ways” light, standing on the corners inbetween, as shown by these two traffic camera screengrabs we took :30 apart four minutes ago:
11:54 AM: We have a reporter arriving in the area. Meantime, watching the live traffic cam, it’s not quite Portland-level goofiness, but we’ve noted costumes including inflatable-assisted unicorn, chicken, and dinosaur.(Also, a bald eagle.) Bucky also reports a bagpipe player. … Our reporter says there are also participants at other Junction intersections, including 42nd/Alaska and Oregon/California. And they’re lining California north and south of Alaska, to midblock.
12:19 PM: The 42nd/Alaska group has moved on. Our reporter, who’s been walking the perimeter, saw a few at California/Edmunds. And here from two minutes ago is an updated screengrab from the live-video SDOT cam at California/Alaska:
We’ve also been looking around for any signs of police monitoring; haven’t seen any marked cars or uniformed officers, no reported need for them either.
1:05 PM: We’ve moved on but are keeping an eye on the overhead traffic cam. Here’s a screengrab from two minutes ago:
The “official” end time for this is 2 pm. Meantime, as listed in our event calendar, a South Park group was planning to rally about now, and the “Old Tyme Adults for Democracy” group plans to be at Admiral/California at 2 pm.
1:56 PM: Traffic camera still shows crowds on the corners. Meantime, two more photos sent by readers:

ADDED 7 PM: Thanks to JCV for sending more photo, including closeups of a couple characters we mentioned above:
Passing through The Junction this afternoon, we noticed the person above standing on the southwest corner of California/Alaska, holding two signs promoting Saturday’s planned nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations. The major gathering in our region is at Seattle Center. Some readers have asked us if any gatherings are planned in West Seattle or nearby; for those who can’t or don’t want to go downtown, we’ve received announcements for three:
–The Junction, 11 am-2 pm Saturday. We’ve heard about this from multiple people, including Lisa, who says almost 300 had RSVP’d (not required) as of earlier this week, so “If we don’t all fit at the intersection of California and Alaska, we’ll be lining up along California Ave.”
–Admiral Junction, 2-2:30 pm Saturday (the “Old Tyme Adults for Democracy” group that’s rallied there periodically for more than half a year)
–Solidarity South Park, meeting at South Park Plaza at 1 pm Saturday and walking to the SP Bridge
Any others, please let us know.
12:33 PM: A huge crowd of students has gathered outside Seattle Public Schools HQ, after walking out from high schools around the city, demanding the district pull back its seemingly sudden decision to split lunch periods.
We’d estimate more than 1,000 are here, even lining the railings on the Lander bridge overlooking the site.
At one point they were headed inside until told students were inside meeting with district leaders.
1:06 PM: The crowd had dwindled by the time the open-mic-style megaphone exhortations stopped around an hour in. One student invited the protesters to “stay and eat your lunch with us” and many did. We have to head back to the peninsula and will add video at HQ. We’ll also follow up on results of the student-district meeting.
2:11 PM: Video and photos added. The reasons given by speakers for opposing the lunch change are the same we’ve reported previously – the loss of club time, for one. And this student, who identified himself as from West Seattle High School – whose students were first to tell us about the change – took the mic to declare, “Lunch is a time for community”:
Police were seen monitoring the protest around its periphery, including blocking off the street on the east side of district HQ:
Also there to watch were at least three School Board candidates, one of whom – former board member Vivian Song – told us this seemed like deja vu, a case of district administration making a big change at the last minute and explaining it poorly, including inadequate information on what problem it was meant to solve and what other options were considered.
Each corner of 16th/Henderson had about 10 sign-wavers when we went by about an hour and a half into the two-hour window for West Seattle Indivisible‘s Labor Day rally/protest. Messages included some specific to this pro-worker holiday:
Next up, the organization is hoping to organize 1,000 people jnto a “human banner” on the West Seattle waterfront for International Day of Peace on September 21.
Last night we published an announcement of two events today on Alki commemorating Ukrainian Independence Day. The first was a 10:30 am rally at Alki Statue of Liberty Plaza; David Hutchinson sent the photos above and below:
Regarding the rally organizers’ choice of location, David included this observation and image:
A very appropriate location for this event. The original Alki Statue of Liberty was installed at this location by the Boy Scouts of America in 1952 during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The theme of their campaign, started in 1949 to celebrate the Boy Scouts’ 40th anniversary, was “Strengthen the Arm of Liberty”:
Alki Statue of Liberty Plaza was dedicated in 2008 as a new home for the statue, which had been recast and reinstalled on its old pedestal a year earlier. Meantime, today’s Ukrainian Independence Day rally was to be followed by a picnic on the beach at Alki, running until sunset, all welcome.

Tomorrow (Sunday, August 24) is Ukrainian Independence Day. Not only has someone draped the Alki Statue of Liberty in the Ukrainian flag, the beach will see two related events tomorrow. A rally supporting Ukraine freedom, as Russian attacks continue, is planned for Alki Statue of Liberty Plaza 10:30 am-noon on Sunday. The organization sponsoring it, according to the announcement we received, is Ukraine Defense Support. Immediately afterward, starting at noon on the beach, the Ukrainian Association of Washington State plans a Ukraine Independence Day Celebration and Picnic, scheduled to continue until sunset.
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.

The Statue of Liberty joined the Stars and Stripes as American icons carried Saturday afternoon during streetcorner rallies from Admiral Junction to Morgan Junction.
Previous rallies were held concurrently with similar actions across the country. This time, “Reclaim the Flag” was a West Seattle Indivisible standalone plan.
In comment discussion following coverage of previous rallies, someone has invariably asked, why do this – what’s the point? So we took that question to a few of the participants we found in Morgan Junction. Carol answered that question head-on:
I’m tired of people asking me if it does any good to come out, and I’m tired of answering yes. What are the other actions you could take then? Donating to a cause? Supporting [specific] politicians? This [protesting] isn’t the action for everyone, but anytime we can see the collective good, that is inspiring for people – whatever they may do. … I’m optimistic that for enough people the light bulb will come on – and that we [the people] are the only promise we have to make it better, that’s it, because this government is so corrupt.
(This photo and next by Torin Record-Sand for WSB)
Scott told us:
Each one of us standing on a corner makes a big difference, but not only that – the bus drivers waving at me, and all the honking [really shows support] … This is my chance to make up for me and my generation not finishing the job in the ’60s and ’70s, I’m glad to be able to make a difference if I can. … In the 1960s, we thought we were going to change the world, then we got married and settled down and didn’t follow through. … What’s going on now should make us appreciate democracy rather than taking it for granted – hopefully the backlash against the rise of authoritarianism will give rise to a resurgence of democracy.
We also talked to that trio in Morgan Junction:
Democrats are out of touch, and Republicans are flirting with fascism … The attacks on the Constitution, the [imprisonment] of immigrants [even with] green cards and visas, breaking the law – the law we’ve had since 1776 – who gives him the right? … The system doesn’t work any more, the legislative branch doesn’t want to act, the judicial branch doesn’t want to act – that leaves us with a king, which is unacceptable.
One added a comment related to the legislation that’s continued making its way through Congress this weekend: “I’m protesting the ‘big bad bill’ because it’s taking away health care – it’s going to make people die.”
WHAT’S NEXT: Most of those with whom we spoke said rallying/sign-waving isn’t all they’re doing; they’re also contacting members of Congress. Rally participant Gretchen suggested, “It is super easy to contact Congress if you are irritated enough.” (Whatever you want to tell them, links to contact info start here.)

You might already have seen the flyers posted around the peninsula. West Seattle Indivisible is planning another rally on streetcorners along California SW, from Admiral to Morgan Junction, this Saturday (June 28). Here’s the explanation they sent:
West Seattle Indivisible presents:
RECLAIM THE FLAG Street RallySaturday, June 28, 2025
12:00 PM – 2:30 PM
California Ave SW from Admiral to Morgan JunctionFresh off the NO KINGS March, let’s keep building strength in numbers and reclaim our flag as a symbol of democracy, liberty, and justice.
Bring your:
* US Flags
* Noisemakers
* Pro-democracy signs
* Kiddos — this is a family-friendly event!We’ll line California Ave SW from Admiral to Morgan Junction, spreading the message block by block.
Let’s make freedom loud, proud, and visible in West Seattle. See you there!
Back in April, the group drew hundreds to more than 20 streetcorners in West Seattle for its first rally/protest.
11:39 AM: Also happening right now, the “No Kings” rallies coast-to-coast. While Seattle’s biggest gathering is planned for Cal Anderson Park, as we’ve reported, at least five West Seattle gatherings have been announced, and the first is happening right now on the corners at Admiral/California. WSB’s Hayden Yu Andersen counted at least 70 people between the corners and sent these photos:
Earlier, some West Seattleites met up to take Metro east from The Junction, including this woman who was handing out small flags:
A gathering at The Junction has just begun – updates on that shortly.
11:54 AM: Hayden estimates more than 260 people in The Junction “and more filtering in.”
12:42 PM: We heard honking near our booth at the Morgan Junction Community Festival, so went out to the street to look and found a few demonstrators gathered, unannounced, on the corners at California/Fauntleroy too:
The man with the upside-down flag – a symbol of distress – told us his flag dates back to at least the ’60s, passed down by his grandfather. … Meantime, we just checked out the demonstration in The Junction via live traffic cam – here’s a screengrab:
1:22 PM: The downtown march is headed west from Cal Anderson – be aware of traffic effects if you are headed across the bay in the next few hours. Here in WS, we have a photographer checking out the South Delridge gathering and will add that later.
2:57 PM: Nathan sent this photo from a gathering on the South Park Bridge:
ADDED SATURDAY EVENING: The next four photos are from the Junction rally, by photojournalist Oliver Hamlin for WSB:
This one was sent by Arlene Rubin:
And this video is from Clay Eals, who recorded several passes at Walk-All-Ways:
Still a bit more to add later…
While Seattle’s biggest gathering as part of the nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations Saturday will be on Capitol Hill, gatherings have been announced at various spots and times in West Seattle. Here are the ones for which we received announcements:
Admiral/California gathering #1, 11 am-noon
Junction rally, California/Alaska, 11:30 am-1 pm
Arrowhead Gardens residents gathering along Olson Place, noon-3 pm
South Delridge Community Resistance “flash mob”: Noon-2 pm, 9400 block of Delridge Way SW
Admiral/California gathering #2, with Old Tyme Adults for Democracy, 2 pm-3 pm
SIDE NOTE #1: Various state and local political leaders issued statements earlier today urging protesters to be peaceful. And here’s what SPD has posted.
SIDE NOTE #2: Some West Seattle-linked bus routes will have reroutes on the other side of the bay because of the anticipated crowd. If you’re planning on taking Metro to the main rally – West Seattle Indivisible plans meetups at transit centers at 10:30 am.
Passing through The Junction on Saturday, we noted members of West Seattle Indivisible sign-waving, as planned, to remind people about the “No Kings” rally at Cal Anderson Park next Saturday (June 14), one of hundreds of planned protests nationwide. We’ve also been receiving questions by email, text, and voice about whether anything is planned here in West Seattle. So far, we have two answers:
#1 – If your concern is just getting there, transportation might be available, West Seattle Indivisible says. The group has filled up one bus with people interested in riding together to the Cal Anderson rally, leaving at 11 am Saturday from the West Seattle High School parking lot, $25 suggested donation. If they get enough expressions of interest, they’ll charter a second. You can sign up here if interested.
#2 – For those insistent on staying in West Seattle, Old Tyme Adults for Democracy sent us an announcement today for a street rally on the corners at Admiral/California on Saturday, 2-3 pm. Their group is based at nearby Brookdale Admiral Heights but all are welcome.
4:15 PM: Several people have asked today if any protests/rallies are planned in West Seattle tomorrow (Thursday, May 1) in addition to the ones announced for downtown Seattle and elsewhere. So in case you’re wondering too: The only people we’ve heard from are the “Old Tyme Adults for Democracy,” who’ve rallied at Admiral/California previously – the sign in our photo is from their first one – and plan to be there 2-3 pm tomorrow, with a “street rally for democracy, and they invite community members to join them. (Anything else locally? Let us know.)
12:10 AM: We’ve also received word of a planned faculty/staff walkout at South Seattle College (WSB sponsor) at 10 am Thursday, with a rally at the clock-tower plaza, “to protest state and district-level budget cuts on the backs of our college’s underpaid student support professionals.”
1:07 PM: So far we’ve been from Morgan Junction…
… to the north end of The Junction…
… and we’ve seen hundreds of protesters on a dozen streetcorners, midway through a planned two-hour protest of various actions the Trump Administration has taken or might take. Next, we’re traveling the rest of California Ave.
1:20 PM: Just did that, and counted another dozen intersections with protesters at multiple corners, ending at Admiral Way.
1:53 PM: Just made it up to Highland Park and a group is at 16th/Holden as announced.
2:25 PM: The photos above were all taken by us from our car window, at stoplights. We’re back at HQ now and below we’ll be adding other photos a bit later this afternoon.
ADDED 3:07 PM: Above, Dave White‘s photo from Walk-All Ways; below, Bucky Hayes-McQueen‘s photo from Admiral/California:
ADDED 5:15 PM: Below are photos from WSB contributor Dave Gershgorn, who went to several of the locations:
The protests were organized by West Seattle Indivisible.
Two weeks after helping lead the Seattle “Hands Off” demonstration, West Seattle Indivisible says they’re staying close to home for the next National Day of Action this Saturday, with a preparation event tomorrow. Here’s the announcement we received:

While Seattle’s biggest gathering as part of the nationwide “Hands Off” demonstrations was downtown at Seattle Center, as previewed here, two concurrent mini-rallies were held today in the Alaska and Admiral Junctions for people who couldn’t or didn’t want to go downtown. WSB contributing photojournalist Dave Gershgorn went to both. These photos are from The Junction, where a woman and her sister invited people to join them, and, Dave reports, got at least 70 supporters:
Dave found at least one canine participant:
Dave reports the gathering also drew, in addition to people honking, a heckler in a red pickup truck who yelled at the demonstrators on two passes before moving on. He also noted the bus stops were full of sign-toters catching the RapidRide downtown, apparently headed for the Seattle Center event. Next, his photos from the gathering of “Old Tyme Adults for Democracy” at Admiral/California.
West Seattleites unhappy about closures and cuts in federal services and attacks on pro-diversity programs are planning at least three actions Saturday:
‘HANDS OFF’ AT SEATTLE CENTER: The photo above was sent by West Seattle Indivisible, taken at one of last weekend’s sign-making gatherings in advance of the group’s participation in the “Hands Off” gathering at Seattle Center on Saturday afternoon. (Read more about that here.)
‘OLD TYME ADULTS FOR DEMOCRACY’ IN ADMIRAL: The Brookdale Admiral Heights residents and friends who gathered last Saturday at Admiral/California sent word today that they’re doing it again Saturday afternoon:
The Old Tyme Adults for Democracy is going to have another gathering at the corner of Admiral and California on April 5th from 2:00-3:00 pm. All are welcome to join!
IN THE JUNCTION: Pam sent this announcement:
Hey neighbors. Sat. there are Hands Off protests. My sister and I will be in the Alaska Junction (4 way light) from 11:30 am until 2 pm. Love for anyone to join us. My sister has mobility issues and I suggested just protesting in the Junction. If you can’t make one of the other protests downtown, join us. Bring a sign or just your voice.
“It’s scary.” That’s why, Roxie told us, she organized some of her Brookdale Admiral Heights neighbors for a protest this afternoon. The federal changes aren’t the only things that scare her – inaction by concerned citizens, she said, is scary too. So this was the action taken today by about two dozen seniors who stood and sat on multiple corners at Admiral/California, about half a block south of their building.
Their signs addressed a variety of areas of concern, from Social Security to the Veterans Administration to chief cutter Elon Musk.
They drew a fair amount of honking from people in passing cars. Organizer Roxie, by the way, is 90 years old, and said she had a history of political involvement back when she lived in Montana. She’s not interested in going back there, though – she’s worried that if Social Security is cut, she’ll have to get family there to take her in.
Four notes this afternoon as cuts in D.C. reverberate here in “the other Washington”:
(WSB photo, last Saturday)
CARE-A-VAN SUSPENDED: The state Health Department’s Care-a-Van mobile health service was part of the resource fair at Westwood Village last Saturday. That was one of its last stops before the state learned the feds have defunded it, tweeting this morning:
We received notice from the CDC that our funding for Care-A-Van has been terminated, effective March 24, 2025. As a result of this unexpected decision, we must immediately suspend Care-A-Van operations. Thank you to all of our requesters and community partners for your support.
SENIORS PLAN PROTEST: As noted in our West Seattle Event Calendar, we received an announcement that residents at Brookdale Admiral Heights (2326 California SW) plan a protest outside their building at 3 pm Saturday. The announcement says they’ll be protesting cuts to programs as pursued by the federal DOGE operation.
PREPARING FOR APRIL 5 PARTICIPATION: West Seattle Indivisible is leading two sign-making events this Sunday in advance of the April 5 “Hands Off” rally at Seattle Center, protesting cuts to programs/services – one at 11 am Sunday in High Point, one at 3:30 pm in Admiral. (They want to be sure you know the venues have limited space.)
CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE: The City Council’s new Federal Administration and Policy Changes Committee, set up to help councilmembers stay informed on D.C. changes affecting Seattle, will have its second meeting Thursday (April 3) at 2 pm, focusing on housing issues. (This is a “select committee,” so all councilmembers are on it.) Citywide Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck sent this announcement today with details.
1:21 PM: As previewed in our daily list, the National Association of Letter Carriers (postal workers’ union) called for rallies across the country today to oppose any attempts to dismantle or privatize the U.S. Postal Service, and the regional gathering for Seattle is at the Westwood Village Post Office. We’re there and so are more than 100 protesters.
1:43 PM: The speeches are concluding – along with chants such as “The US Mail is not for sale’ – and they’re planning a march around the Post Office building.
1:54 PM: They’re actually marching around the Westwood Village perimeter, on the sidewalk. Video when we’re back at HQ.
2:58 PM: First, here’s that video, as the march left the Post Office vicinity:
The marchers walked east along Trenton, then south on 25th, turning west on Barton, and that’s when we had to move on. Earlier, speakers ranged from a Westwood Village postal worker to regional labor leaders, plus union-solidarity songs from the Seattle Labor Chorus:
(We panned the crowd toward the start of that video, as they ringed the Post Office’s customer lot.) As for what to do next, speakers suggested focusing on members of Congress as those with the power to “save the Postal Service.” The message was a mix of saving the Postal Service and also reminding people that USPS employees have been working without a contract.
8:45 AM: Our video shows the scene just outside Denny International Middle School earlier this morning, as community advocates joined educators and students for one of at least three local “Walk-In” rallies to show support for public-school funding. (We had photographers at West Seattle High School and Genesee Hill Elementary as well and will add those photos later.) This was a nationwide initiative; in our state, participants were not only trying to send a message to the federal government regarding Department of Education cuts, but also to the State Legislature, which has big decisions to make about school funding – and other budget matters – before this session ends.
9:01 AM: Above and below are photos by WSB’s Hayden Yu Andersen, who covered the rally at Genesee Hill Elementary:
School-funding cuts would result in a “lack of people, lack of support and lack of safety in schools,” according to Alison Aylesworth, the organizer of this walk-in and a teacher at Genesee Hill.
“Dismantling the department of education would put a huge burden on our special education students” Said Kristen Marklund, a special education assistant. “Our School is very passionate about our community, and this rally is to support them.” After gathering, the crowd walked around the side of the school, carrying signs and chanting things like “read, write, rise!”
11:48 AM: Below are photos by Oliver Hamlin for WSB at West Seattle High School’s Walk-In:
Above, that’s art teacher Michelle Sloan waving to passing cars. Sloan, who has been teaching at the school for 10 years, said she participated to protest cuts to the Department of Education and to protect special education and after school-care funding. Below, WSHS student Jonah Shah holds a “Don’t Mourn, Organize” sign:
Below, Finn White, a WSHS student and member of the Social Justice Club, thanked educators and urged people to vote in local elections:
About 45 people were gathered while we were there.
We’ve heard so far from educators at two three local schools organizing “Walk-Ins” before classes Wednesday morning (March 19) as part of a nationwide demonstration against education cuts. Organizers are inviting community members to join staff and students. Here’s the invitation for West Seattle High School‘s Walk-In:
Staff, students, and community members of West Seattle High School (including community businesses and supportive neighbors) will be participating in a WALK-IN to celebrate our school, and to stand against cuts to ANY of the programs that serve our precious students.
School WALK-INs are happening across the country this Wednesday, March 19, for the same reasons; to stand as communities, for our children. The format is simple. 30 minutes to an hour prior to the start of the school day, staff members, students, parents, and supportive community members (including people from local businesses that serve our schools) gather in front of the schools to show support. Signs, musical instruments, carafes of coffee or tea and snacks to share are welcome. Then, about 20 to 30 minutes prior to the school day, we march as a body into the school.
Of course, we cannot have people who are not staff or students enter parts of the building that are not right up front, directly by the exits, because we need to maintain security, and begin our school day, but we can share context, contacts, ideas, and fellowship prior to our work days beginning. If anyone from West Seattle — parents, alumni, and Beloved Community members see this, and want to join us Wednesday morning, we will be gathering at 7:45 AM in front of the school, on California Avenue.
We’ve also heard from organizers at Denny International Middle School, who asked us to share this:
This Wednesday, March 19, please join staff, students, and family/community members at Denny International Middle School at 7:15 AM (prior to school starting) in a Walk-In protest of potential cuts in funding to our public schools due to the dismantling of the US Department of Education. This will culminate at 7:35 AM with staff and students walking in to school in solidarity. Prior to the Walk-In, there will be chanting and conversations. School appropriate signs geared toward these cuts are welcome.
Denny is at 2601 SW Kenyon; WSHS is at 3000 California SW. Meantime, we’ll add to the list if we hear from any other schools.
ADDED MONDAY: We’ve also heard from Genesee Hill Elementary, which is planning “a walk-in event for March 19, starting at 7 AM. Staff, families, and students are all welcome to meet at the front of the school to rally for public schools. We are gathering to support our students and families. The rally will last about 25 minutes. We will walk around the school and into the playground.” GHES is at 5013 SW Dakota.

3:26 PM: More than 100 people are marching along the Alki Trail again today in support of immigrants’ rights. We didn’t hear about it until it was just starting but caught up with the group as it headed east/southbound; they were detouring onto Luna/Anchor Park. Photos/video to come.
(Added: WSB video)
4:09 PM: Above is our roadside video as the group passed just before turning into Luna/Anchor Park. We continued heading south/west and didn’t see any other groups. Listening to police radio, we’re hearing the demonstration is now along Alki Avenue in the 1300 block – one officer had told dispatch a few minutes ago that someone had been assaulted and they were arresting a suspect, though there was no word of whether it involved demonstrator(s) or other(s).
8:38 PM: Here’s what police tell WSB about that:
Two arrests were made at the protest on Alki. One protester was arrested for assaulting another protester in front of officers. The adult was arrested and booked into King County Jail on investigation of assault. The second arrest was of a juvenile that was arrested for obstruction. The juvenile stood in front of a patrol vehicle that had lights activated to prevent it from moving, and was arrested and I & R’d (Identified and Released) to a parent. No injuries or reportable use of force.
