This city hasn’t been this lively since the WTO demonstrations. You’ve been asleep a long time seattle, its good to have you back. It was cathartic, sloppy, freezing and perfect. Its like everyone was purging themselves of the cynicism and negativity of the last 8 years. Ive never seen so many smiling faces all in one place, you could feel the joy radiating from everyone. Keep in mind this wasn’t a planned rally, this was thousands of random people filling a busy intersection and claiming it as their own. Whether obama is what he says he is and whether or not he can bring the change he promises remains to be seen but one thing is certain, what happened in the streets of seattle tonight was real and It was wonderful.
