The March for Science Seattle (or March for Science–Seattle)[1] was a protest held in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. This local protest was part of the March for Science, a series of rallies and marches in Washington, D.C., and over 600 cities across the world on April 22, 2017 (Earth Day).

Hundreds attended a second March for Science event in Seattle in 2018.

Local organizers

Miles Greb was among local organizers of the event,[2][3][4] which "promoted the use of scientific knowledge and peer review as a basis for public policy, economics, public health and more", according to Seattle University's student publication The Spectator.[5] The Nature Conservancy was a sponsor of the demonstration.[6]

Thousands of people signed up to attend the event.[7] Protesters gathered at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill and marched to the International Fountain at Seattle Center.[8] Tens of thousands participated in the demonstration.[9][10] Governor Jay Inslee, congresswoman Suzan DelBene,[11] and Mayor Ed Murray spoke on site.[12][13]

University of Washington physics student Tyler Valentine was among speakers.[14] Biochemist Edmond H. Fischer was among participants.[15][16] Groups from the University of Washington's Department of Global Health and Seattle Pacific University's biology department also attended.[17][18]

The crowd was diverse and many people created homemade signs.[19] Erik Lacitis of the Yakima Herald-Republic wrote: "College students, doctors in their white coats, parents with baby strollers, your gray-haired liberal types all marched... In Seattle, they held up homemade signs: 'Climate change is real.' 'No 'alternative facts' in real science.' 'There is no Planet B.' 'Funding science is patriotic.' 'Mr. President, science gave us Rogaine.'[15]

One protester who "stormed" the stage was removed by police.[20][21]

2018

Another March for Science event was held in Seattle on April 14, 2018.[22] Stacy Smedley and Teresa Swanson were among local organizers.[23] According to The Seattle Times, the 2018 event was more about indigenous rights, national politics, and public education.[24] Demonstrators gathered at Cal Anderson Park, then marched along Pike Street, Fourth Avenue, and Fifth Avenue North to the Seattle Center.[25] Speakers included Pramila Jayapal, Nancy Pelosi, and environmental scientist Marco Hatch.[23][26][27] The event's theme was "Science's Silenced Voices". The Nature Conservancy of Washington was a returning sponsor.[28] Hundreds participated.[24]
