2025s anti-Trump protests are smaller, low-conflict, frequent, and have great signs Another marched on Broadway Saturday

Seattle, WALocal News

A recent protest in Seattle's Capitol Hill area drew over 1,000 participants, marking a significant moment in the ongoing "Hands Off" movement against the Trump administration. This event, organized by the Capitol Hill Pride Festival group, highlighted both political dissent and community engagement, as attendees successfully collected 1,000 cans of food for local charities. The trend towards smaller, localized protests has been gaining momentum in the region, driven by organizations like Seattle Indivisible that prioritize regular, neighborhood-based gatherings over larger rallies. However, the challenge remains for potential participants to track these smaller events and gauge attendance. In a somber parallel, the Garfield High School community is once again mourning the loss of a student to gun violence, underscoring the urgent need for activism in response to public safety concerns.

The recent shooting of Salvador Granillo in Yakima has reignited discussions around gun violence and community safety, prompting a candlelight vigil to honor his memory. As Seattle grapples with these pressing issues, the likelihood of further demonstrations against the Trump administration remains high, showcasing the resilience and commitment of local activists. The convergence of political protest and community grief highlights the complex landscape of social issues facing Seattle today.
