This Saturday - "No Kings/Rise Up!" in Shoreline
Events across the state, country
Thousands are expected to attend "No Kings" events across the state this weekend to send a message they support democracy and the rule of law, and reject the push for authoritarian power being sought by President Trump.
"No Kings" events are planned at more than 100 locations Saturday, Oct. 18, including in Shoreline, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, and Bothell. These are just a few of thousands planned across the country to peacefully protest and say the United States will not go quietly the way of Russia, Hungary, Venezuela, or so many others.
The Shoreline event - dubbed "No Kings/Rise Up!" - will be held 1:30-3pm, at the Park at Town Center (often called Sculpture Park), on Aurora Avenue North just north of N 175th Street (behind the Walgreens, diagonally across from Shoreline City Hall).
It will kick off with brief remarks by organizers, state Sen. Jesse Salomon, and candidates for Shoreline City Council Valerie Snider and Jack Malek, and include sign-waving and a march.
In addition, there will be a family-friendly Kids Area where kids of all ages can make their own signs; a featured activist platform and information tables; and a food, toiletries and school supplies donation drive to assist those in need. Event will be held rain or shine, so dress yourself and your sign for the weather.
Sign up isn’t necessary, but is helpful for planning. Visit Mobilize.us or RSVP to EverydayActivistsUSA@gmail.com. Come be part of history and make your voice heard.

It's disappointing but not surprising I suppose to see Sen. Salomon and the two vying Shoreline Councilmembers associating themselves with these extremist rallies.
Kings would not allow a No Kings rally. By the way, we have a No Kings day: July 4. Had one for 250 years and counting.
Nothing extremist about exercising our Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly.
Not exactly extremist if we’re fighting for the constitution and it’s the majority of the country. I’d say those against this are the extremist.
“Extremist event” with a kids area and food donations. Get a grip, fella.
Nothing extreme about defending our democracy.
Any Thank You’s to President Trump for facilitating peace in the Middle East? Anyone??
Protecting our democracy is not extreme.
You sound scared of people exercising their constitutional rights.
Stand up Shoreline!
Extremist rally? I’m guessin’ you have issues with the constitution as well? The only extremist as I see it is the one in the White House and his enablers.
The Bill of Rights (1791) - guarantees each citizen - no matter their party or opinion - the RIGHTS to FREE SPEECH, ASSEMBLY, and WORSHIP. If these rights are not used and protected, history proves that extremists (oligarchs and politicians) will swoop in and take power and wealth for themselves. Patriots and those who love our country and greatly value the basic rights from our Bill of Rights (rights thousands of veterans have given their lives to protect ) - will often try to be present at a rally or march if they can. I am not an "extremist", a terrorist, or any other "ist" because I am going to attend a political march that supports values and beliefs that are different from yours. I am a responsible voting citizen, a wife, mother and grandmother, a teacher, a friend, and a person of faith. I will protect the rights I have enjoyed throughout my life for my daughter and her children. Any march I attend is not extremist. It is an opportunity to exercise my right to assemble, to let the government know that I strongly disagree with blowing up boats without due process, or tackling women, or zip tying children in the dark of night. These are acts being encouraged by our current administration and I do not support them. I will attend a march to say so.
Let’s not get hung up on choice of words, this is an anti despot wanta be rally!
Disappointing that you and others see fighting to preserve our democracy as ‘extremist.’ Wake up
To the 11:53 comment, you're aware he HAS tried to stop our protests and others in the past right? He was just very unsuccessful in Seattle hence why he's sending the national guard seemingly everywhere else. We're a tough nut to crack and he knows it.
