SEATTLE — Cities big and small across the Pacific Northwest saw versions of the Women’s March over the weekend. Several thousand people gathered Saturday for “Seattle Womxn Marching Forward” in downtown Seattle. It was largely peaceful but organizers expressed disappointment that another group of women’s rights activists was hosting a similar event on Sunday. Sunday’s event organizers told the Seattle Times that they wanted their event, “Be The Change Network Women’s March 3.0” to be more inclusive and especially considerate of Jewish women who may observe Shabbat on Saturdays. Affiliates of the national movement said they tried to work with the “March 3.0” group. “There is no division at the local level because that (Be The Change Network) march is not associated with the Womxn’s March at all,” said Liz Hunter-Keller, communications chair of Seattle Womxn Marching Forward.
