A day after President Bush's visit to Washington state, several hundred protesters marched along Seattle's waterfront to speak out against his policies on Iraq, the economy, the environment, health care and women's rights.

"I think he's touched enough people to get a good, basic corps to get him out of office," said Denise Hendrickson, who attended Saturday's demonstration.

Protesters gathered at Myrtle Edwards Park around noon, listening to speeches and sharing their views.

Police kept Bush protesters behind barricades Friday as the group waited for the President's motorcade to pass by.
"I was so pleased there were so many people," said Karen Cooper, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Washington, one of the organizers of the event. "I think this Bush thing is finally starting to sink in with people." ---

2. Good for Seattle, I was there many years ago and I really liked

the city and its people. I hope I get another chance to go back there. The seafood was out of this world and Pike's Market was so much fun.
