Last night, nearly 500 people turned out in rain to rally and march on Seattle’s Capitol Hill against a planned march by the violent neo-Nazi group, the Hammerskins.

The Hammerskins did not make an appearance on Capitol Hill.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the white power concert, which the Hammerskins claimed would draw 300 concert-goers, took place across town at a private residence in the Ballard neighborhood, but with no more than a few dozen attendees.
