Scenes from Seattle's No Kings [View all]

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.
