There will be an anti-war rally and march in the downtown area on Saturday, October 28th. The rally will be held on the plaza of the Federal Building at 2nd Avenue and Marion Street, beginning at noon and lasting until about 1 p.m. About 500 protestors are expected to attend the march, which will begin at about 1:15 p.m.

March route:

From 2nd Ave. and Marion St., marchers will travel south on 2nd Ave., turn east on Yesler Way to Dilling Way, then turn east on Dilling Way toward 4th Ave. The marchers will then head north on 4th Ave to Pine St., turn west on Pine St., and finally travel south on 2nd Ave. back toward the Federal Building at 2nd Ave. and Madison St.

The Seattle Department of Transportation builds, maintains and operates Seattle's $8 billion transportation infrastructure. To further Mayor Nickels’ goal to get Seattle moving, the department manages short- and long-term investments in streets, bridges, pavement and trees, that better connect the city with the region.
