'March for Our Lives' draws thousands to Western Washington streets

SEATTLE -- Thousands marched today in support of students and faculty at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida after a mass shooting last month killed 17 people.

The Seattle 'March for Our Lives' is just one of multiple expected in Western Washington and one of dozens in major cities across the United States. Many participants are calling for increased action on gun control.

The demonstration began with a rally at Cal Anderson Park, leading to a march through downtown. The march closed numerous roads as participants made their way to Seattle Center.

The march is scheduled to end at 2 p.m.
