The most unusual local protest on June 14 is set for the White Center area is the Kick Out The Clowns event set for Delridge Way SW near Mr B's Meadery that will include clown make up, circus performances and a flash mob, all non-violent.
The primary Seattle area focus for the No Kings protest against the actions of the Trump Administration are set to take place at Red Square on the University of Washington campus, starting at 12:00 PM. Another demonstration is planned at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill, running from noon to 3 PM. These protests are part of a broader effort to counter the military parade in Washington, D.C., which coincides with Flag Day and President Trump's 79th birthday.
The movement, organized by Indivisible and other advocacy groups, aims to reject what they see as corrupt, authoritarian politics. Protesters are expected to gather in over 1,500 cities nationwide, including more than 80 locations across Washington state. The event emphasizes nonviolent action, with participants encouraged to de-escalate potential confrontations.
