Seattle is gearing up for another significant round of “No Kings” protests this Saturday. Gatherings will occur across Washington state and in other locations nationwide.
No Kings Protest Details
The coalition behind the Seattle Hands Off and Seattle No Kings march from June is once again leading this weekend’s events. The primary rally and march will be held at Seattle Center.
- Date: Saturday
- Time: 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Location: Seattle Center
During the previous protest in June, around 70,000 demonstrators flooded the city, demanding impactful change. The initial protest coincided with President Donald Trump’s birthday.
Background of “No Kings” Protests
The term “No Kings” stems from the protesters’ demand to “dethrone” Trump. They draw parallels between his governance style and monarchy, claiming he seeks authoritarian control rather than functioning as a democratically elected leader.
Organizers have described Trump’s approach as dictatorial. They emphasize that he uses intimidation and federal forces to suppress dissent.
Expected Impact on Seattle and Surroundings
This Saturday, thousands are anticipated to participate in the Seattle march. Smaller rallies are also planned across various neighborhoods and cities in western Washington.
- Add-on March: An additional procession will initiate at Seattle Ferry Terminal at 11 a.m.
- Connecting Event: This march will merge with the main protest at Seattle Center.
