Everett 'die-in' was part of worldwide climate change protests
EVERETT — Tears dripped off the tip of Daniel Schwenk’s nose as he lay on the pavement Friday. Face down in front of the Snohomish County administration buildings in Everett, his head rested on crossed arms.
Along with about 200 others, Schwenk “died” for 11 minutes.
As the courthouse clock struck noon, each demonstrator picked their spot, lay down, got as comfortable as possible and closed their eyes.
“I’ll die next to you,” one woman said to her friend as she descended.
“Bye everybody,” said a bystander.
The demonstration highlighted that scientists believe climate change must be addressed within 11 years, organizer Pam Kepford said.
