Seattle protesters challenge polluters

Two thousand people marched in Seattle after a big downtown rally on Sept. 21.  Protesting coal ports and oil trains, demonstrators marched to the waterfront and blocked two train engines and forced them to back away.  Oil and coal trains have been blocked a number of times in recent months in the Northwest, as the movement takes on the polluting energy monopolies.
