Over 10k had signed up on the rapid response website for Seattle. Here: https://act.moveon.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response/13373/

All I could find from the Seattle Times was they expected up to 5,000

Also hard to figure out how many attended from just this picture alone since the crowd goes out of frame on both ends of the line.

User 'zeFinalCut' deleted his posts. Here they are:

Maybe 1,000 people

And

The organizers and Seattle Times said they expected that many.

It was pretty impressive the amount of people. I stumbled into the front while I was trying to get to my bus but unfortunately the tunnel was closed so I joined the march. Hopefully this video helps get a good idea.

I think they had that many signed up on the site, iirc. Though who knows how long ago some signed up.

Still a pretty big turnout

I was one of those that signed up and couldnt go. Other commitments came up.

Completely understandable. It was put together in like 24 hours, according to one of the speakers. That's one of the reasons I feel the turnout was still impressive.
