A display at Seattle City Hall features six handmade sock puppets arranged in a row, each representing a City Councilmember, with black nameplates identifying them as Kettle (District 7), Rivera (District 4), Nelson (Position 9), Saka (District 1), Strauss (District 6), and Juarez (District 5). Above the puppets is a large white cardboard frame labeled “Solidarity Budget” with a raised fist logo in red and green. The background shows a modern lobby with wood-paneled ceiling, windows, and seating.
I had so much fun helping to man the photo booth for Seattle Solidarity Budget at today's public hearing on the budget! Many of the workers at City Hall were just as starstruck as I was to see The Seattle Channel puppets IRL!
