Marchers, who were escorted by Seattle Police, went from Garfield High School to Union and Madison Streets before ending the march at the Seattle Federal Building.

Clifton Wyatt, 66, participates in the Seattle march each year to honor King Jr. A longtime activist, Wyatt has always emphasized a message of racial equality.

"Hopefully one day we all come together and enjoy life together," Wyatt said. "That vision that Dr. Martin Luther King had, but we got a long way to go."
