Hundreds of loud Seahawks fans showed up for a public rally at Seattle Center Wednesday, braving sporadic rain to dance to some live music and see appearances by members of the Sea Gals, mayor Ed Murray, a few former Seahawks players, and plenty more. There were also a limited amount of the coveted “Seattle Mix” Skittles being handed out. Fans also were able to sign a giant 12th Man flag that will be sent to the Super Bowl and presented to the team before the game.

Recent work for Reuters: Boeing union rally

My work, photojournalism, Published work, Still photography

Paul Fritzler chants at a Boeing union rally, which was held to demand a chance to vote on the latest contract put forth by Boeing for the 777X jetliner production, in Everett, Washington, December 18, 2013. Machinist union leaders rejected a second contract offer from Boeing Co, which would have secured work on the new 777X jetliner for the Seattle area, because it differed little from an offer that union members had already rejected by a large margin, a key union official said. Leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 rejected the offer on December 12 without a membership vote, a decision that has sparked controversy, with Washington Governor Jay Inslee among those weighing in.
