A protest called “Trump & Pence OUT NOW!” is planned at Green Lake Park this Saturday at 4 p.m. Protesters are meeting at East Green Lake Way N & NE 71st St. across from Gregg’s Cycles.

Part of a nationwide movement #TrumpPenceOutNOW, the group plans to use the time to “assemble in protest, to plan and organize.”

The group is encouraging all to wear face masks for the protest.

For more on the event, go to their Facebook page.

If you plan to attend the protest, why not drop off your ballot at the ballot box too? Green Lake’s ballot box is at the Community Center.

Sharing a beautiful and precise drawing of the historic Green Lake library building by Seattle artist (and my mom!) Valerie Margulis.

Her piece was selected for the Historic Seattle & Georgetown Art Attack show. The Green Lake Library is one of the few remaining Carnegie Libraries that is still serving its original purpose. You can see her piece, and more by other Seattle artists on December 14th in Georgetown.

Nice work, mom!

This is a great opportunity to make your mark on a landscape that needs some love while connecting with friends and neighbors. No experience necessary.
