City of Port Townsend to close multiple streets for Saturday demonstration

Posted

Streets in downtown Port Townsend will be temporarily closed from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3 for a protest.

Sections of Water, Washington, Monroe, Madison, and Quincy streets near Pope Marine Park will be shut down. Parking restrictions will also be in place.

Signs were placed Friday down the median of some streets and along the sidewalks of others by the city of Port Townsend. The signs warn that vehicles will be towed.

The planned protest — spearheaded by Vancouver, Washington resident Robert Zerfing and called “Stand For Democracy — is from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Pope Marine Park.

The anti-trans rally will protest the Olympic Peninsula YMCA’s decision to ban resident Julie Jaman, who was forbidden from returning to Mountain View Pool after harassing a transgender employee in the women’s changing rooms.
