About 3,000 people participated in the “No Kings II” protest in Sequim on Saturday, Oct. 18 — the largest turnout thus far for protests against the Trump administration’s policies that have taken place in recent months, according to organizers with Individible Sequim.

Demonstrators lined Washington Street near Priest Road to peacefully declare that America has no kings, and that power belongs to the people. A similar protest took place outside the county courthouse in Port Angeles.

The local rallies were among more than 2,700 similar demonstrations that took place in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., drawing more than 7 million people, according to nokings.org and various news organizations. About 5 million people reportedly turned out for the first No Kings protests that took place in June.
