See maps and route plans: Multiple protests planned in Seattle around Inauguration Day

Many Seattle voters did not favor President-elect Donald Trump during the election, and there were protests across the Northwest after his election. In the video above, you can watch the report when hundreds marched through downtown Seattle last November.

With Trump's inauguration on Friday, people in Seattle and Olympia plan to continue their opposition with a series of anti-Trump protests and events.
