An estimated 70 to 100 or more protesters marched peacefully on Tuesday afternoon, June 2, 2020, from the International Boulevard, S. 176th Street Transit Center to S. 188th and then to SeaTac City Hall.
- The marchers were seen waving large placards and were shepherded by SeaTac Police on bicycles.
- Many of the marchers were of color and some were wearing face masks.
- A few large placards on sticks were visible.
- At least one sign said “No lives matter until Black Lives Matter.”
- At SeaTac City Hall, the protesters gathered outside, with no attempt to enter the building.

DISCLAIMER:
I recorded the video for this article, but I did NOT write the story. It was my opinion that there were about 48 marchers as they passed by me. Some additional people joined the group as they assembled in front of City Hall, but I was not there so I do not know the size of the crowd that gathered there.
Thanks Vicki – we have updated the story!
