Gov. Bob Ferguson struck a defiant tone at the No Kings day rally in Everett, Washington, where thousands of people attended on Saturday.
As governor, I promise you one thing above all else, we will never, ever under any circumstances, bend the knee to this autocrat, he said of President Donald Trump.
In Everett, roughly 4,000 people attended the demonstration, according to Snohomish County Indivisible, the event organizers. The gathering remained peaceful, with attendees holding signs saying defend democracy and no kings.

In his remarks he cited a letter U.S Attorney General Pam Bondi sent to him in August which threatened to withhold federal funding and prosecute elected leaders if they failed to cooperate with immigration enforcement.
I can sum up the response letter with two words, hell no, Ferguson said.
