From Washington, D.C to Seattle and Vashon, islanders participated in marches on Saturday. Armed with signs and their walking feet, they joined hundreds of thousands others to take a stand against Trump and for issues such as women’s rights, the environment and the LGBT community. This is a collection of photos from those marches.
