Edgewater Gets the Rat

The plumbers and pipefitters are out in force today in front of the Edgewater, and they've brought their portable giant inflatable rat.

The rat sits in the back of a black pickup truck for maximum portability, while the men fan out with their picket signs. Also spotted: lots of coffee, a small generator to power the rat, and lots of uncomfortable guests entering and leaving the Edgewater parking lot.

Seattlest was cameraless when we spotted the rodent, but the above pic is a good facsimile.
