Beaverton, Oregon - 500 (minimum)
Watched the crowds cross Farmington Road, a good 50-75 at a time per walk signal, at least eight times when we finished at 6:30 p.m., with small straggler groups after that. So I would say at least 500, possibly 650 (max) on the high side. We didn’t have a huge venue for gathering. Just waved at the cars going by. Had a few ‘thumbs downers’ and one really vocal driver with the ‘He inherited all this from Bush’ mantra. Oh wait, this wasn’t about 0bama, sorry I slipped. Anyways (oops, sorry, slipped again, we’re all uneducated, you know) half the driver were oblivious to what was going on and the other half layed on the horns and gave us ‘thumbs ups’. I was thrilled to see some drivers when stopped in the traffic at a red light were fumbling around in their cars and finally a whipping out American flag. Huge cheers from the assembled crowd.
Ping as requested. Estimated count at post #400

I was there in Beaverton. It was a great time and I was very pleasantly surprised at the turnout! I thought I’d be there with 10 other people.
