1. I was just wondering the exact same thing!!!

anybody?

[Mrs. Overall]

2. I asked the same question in the Activist HQ forum

and was pointed to the United for Peace link: http://unitedforpeace.org/

On the left hand side of the website under Featured Events there is a list of other participating cities. As of today, Olympia and Walla Walla are the only WA cities listed. I am really hoping Seattle will have something on the 27th, but so far, I haven't found any information on it.

On Edit:

Found these listings at Peace and Justice Events: http://www.scn.org/activism/calendar/jan.html

I'm not sure these events are coordinated with the DC March, but they are happening on the 27th in the Seattle area:

**SAT JAN 27, and subsequent Saturdays, 12:30 - 1:30 p.m., at S. 38th St. and Steele by Borders Books, Tacoma; PEACE VIGIL organized by United for Peace of Pierce County. All peaceful folk are welcome and encouraged to turn out! info http://www.ufppc.org

3. Let's Hear it for those who Vigil!!!! An almost thankless Job

I love:sarcasm: all these politicans who now say "If I knew then what I know now", hey I have got news for you: Jim McDermott knew it. Why didn't you??? We need to show support for people with the cahones who go beyone the knee jerk reaction of "the war is terrible".
There are vigils all over the Puget Sound, attended by a just a few people. Women In Black, the Snow Coalition, United for Peace and Justice, they are all over the place, but you'll likely only see notices for them Online.
I know Jean Buskin has been posting over at scn for United for Peace. She also posts for many other worthwhile causes for events around the sound.
Thank You paxmusa, for the post. You beat me to it. I encourage everyone to flood this forum with events to bring about social justice!
