GOLDENDALE — About 80 people occupied the four corners near United Methodist Church in Goldendale on March 28 for a "No Kings" demonstration in protest of the Trump administration. 

A few blocks away, on the courthouse lawn, about 40 people held a rally in protest of Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and the "tyrannical" state government. According to Erin Hartford, chair of the Klickitat County Republican Party, key issues were Washington's recently passed millionaires tax and Senate Bill 5974 which would empower an independent commission to decertify sheriffs if signed by Ferguson. In coordination with similar rallies across the state, she was also collecting signatures for a ballot measure that would require proof of citizenship to vote.
