Scenes from Seattle's No Kings
It was difficult to get a shot of the overall crowd (everywhere with a good vantage was packed with people, which I count as a good thing!). FWIW, here is some of what I captured.
BTW, news outlets are estimating about 90,000 in Seattle (20,000 over the previous No Kings event).
Personally, I think the three venues that came together (Cal Anderson Park, Seattle Center, and the Ferry Terminal) numbered more than 100,000, but that's not based on much more than starting with a guesstimate of how many visual blocks of about 100 people went by in a minute of the march (about 10) and multiplying by the 2 hours it took to get from the beginning to the end.

Seattle ROCKS!
Carried the same one I had at the last No Kings
I just put Mike Johnson riding a bike bare-ass at 8000 feet altitude (in a couple of feet of snow) in Yosemite National Park. just "chillin"
No AI here, so it just takes a little time to get things right.
Pix must be SFW!
Nice poster!
Speaking of the topic.. Kind of the reverse!
