PHOTOS: 2009 Solstice Parade and Celebration

 The 21st Fremont Solstice Parade took place on June 20th. Thousands of people turned out to watch the parade. The collective work and creativity that goes into the floats is reason enough to attend the parade. However, the hundreds of naked bicyclists are also very popular with the crowd. Most of the bicyists have painted bodies with elaborate designs. They pass so quickly that it's hard to appreciate the quality of work that the body artists have created.

Seattle Homeless Camp Faces Eviction

Nickelsville arrives by truck
Early Saturday morning the homeless residents of Nicklesville left Renton. Shortly after 5 AM in the morning, they arrived at a place near where they had been kicked out last September. As a northwest mist greeted the day, they unloaded three trucks of camping gear and personal belongings. The tent city is in South Seattle near 2nd Avenue SW and Highland Park Way SW. Rather than settle on city land, they are camping on state land. Will the state and Governor Gregoire show more mercy than Seattle Mayor Nickels has? Time will tell. The Nicklesville folks want to build a shanty town on the unused state land. They are asking supporters to contact the Governor and the State Transportation Secretary.

Around 11:00 AM today - 6/9/09 - the Washington State Department of Transportation posted Nickelsville with Official WSDOT Notices that, in their opinion, we are trespassing. That's the bad news. The good news is that there has not YET been any time and date set for forcible expulsion, or d-day.

PHOTO Report Back: May Day 2009 March

 This was the "year of hope," a year when many believed immigration reform was within reach, so I expected more people to be in the streets. But with the recession/ depression, perhaps workers were less likely to risk taking the day off to celebrate May Day. The march included union activists, students from around Puget Sound, socialists, gay activists, anarchists, peace activists, and the many immigrant rights groups.

At Occidental Park, there was a band that played loud and rowdy Mexican music. Some of the speakers spoke in Spanish to the mostly immigrant crowd. Others spoke in English. One of speakers told the crowd that we don't want to wait any longer for reform. Now is the time.
