Activists across the U.S. are calling for a one-day “National Shutdown” on Friday, Jan. 30, urging people to stop working, attending school, and spending money to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to the website, nationalshutdown.org, the protest is meant to put pressure on federal agents following the deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
The Trump Administration has maintained that federal agents were acting in self-defense in each of the shootings.
Walkouts, events, vigils, and protests are set to take place in all 50 states on Friday, including Washington.
KIRO 7 News has found a series of businesses in Washington that say they’ll be participating. Below is a running list.

That work matters. We also know a lot of people don’t have the option to step away without risking their job, their housing, or their safety and that doesn’t make their anger or their values any less real.” You can read the full statement here.
