A heads up for those who are heading to Seattle this weekend.
There will be a “No Kings” rally Saturday, with as many as 100,000 people expected to attend.
The Seattle Department of Transportation is asking everyone to be aware that unexpected traffic or street closures may occur on Saturday because the march routes are unconfirmed.
The rally isn’t the only event happening in the city, either. The Mariners just had their opening day and are at T-Mobile Park through the weekend. Sound Transit also has its opening of the Crosslake Connection. Link light rail will carry passengers across Lake Washington for the first time.
The Seattle ‘No Kings’ rally
The rally will start at Cal Anderson Park at 12 p.m. Saturday, before marching to Seattle Center at 1:15 p.m. The rally is expected to last until 4 p.m., with Washington Attorney General Nick Brown in attendance, among others.
This is the third major national day of action led by the “No Kings” movement. There were no reports of daytime property damage in the last rally in Seattle, according to police. Officers were present, but did not intervene.
Other area rallies
Bellevue, Bremerton, Everett, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kirkland, Olympia, and Tacoma are all holding their own city-wide rallies Saturday in conjunction with Seattle.
The No Kings website identifies local events and rallies via an interactive map.
What is a ‘No Kings’ rally?
There is a series of rallies happening simultaneously across the country. They are organized by those who believe that President Donald Trump and his administration are overreaching with their actions. Republicans have strongly criticized the rallies against the administration, labeling them “hate America rallies”.
