Stop Bush Seattle, Aug 13th Protest

alert!  -1:00 AM -

Based on Information from  Portland IMC, Bush should arrive at Boeing Field in Seattle shortly after 3 PM, Friday. He may linger at Boeing Field for some photo-ops, as was the case last year - so exact times are hard to tell.  Please adjust your plans as you see fit.  Listen to traffic reports to find out where his motorcade is.  Please post this information far and wide. And stay tuned for more possible updates.  There may also be more updates posted to our website or  the Newswire at Seattle IMC. (right hand side of the page) *Reminder:  The protest will last in Medina until Bush leaves so try to make it even if you get off work at 5 PM. One last point- All Press reports state that “Bush will be attending a dinner fundraiser.”

Schedule for Friday, Aug 13th, 2004
Noon:
Bannering will start on Montlake Blvd, over HWY 520, on the west side of Lake Washington starting at Noon.

3 PM: Bush’s ETA: 7 PM. We’re asking folks to begin arriving at 3 PM due to security concerns & possible street closures.  But get there when you can!

| Bus Info: Metro Bus #271 Issaquah goes from the U. District South on 15th Ave NE every half hour on weekdays. It takes the 520 Evergreen Point Bridge and exits 520 at the Medina exit, passing the golf course, then left at the stop light to continue to Issaquah via the Downtown Bellevue Transit Center. The return run from Issaquah follows the same route back to the U. District every half hour. Any bus that goes to the Bellevue Transit Center will allow connection to #271.
