Update: The Seattle Weekly reports organizer Jim Baum was once interviewed by Stephen Colbert on The Daily Show. “Like a lot of people, I’ve been really frustrated watching the Tea Party and the nonsense that goes on,” he said. “I thought: Well, not all of us can go to Washington D.C.”

No need to travel to Washington, D.C., for Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity.”

Seattle will have its own version of the event, reports the Seattle Weekly. Scheduled for Oct. 30 at Westlake Plaza, the rally is an imitation of one Stewart is holding in response to Glenn Beck’s controversial “Restoring Honor” rally in August.

There’s a Facebook page for the Seattle rally, though it’s not clear who’s coordinating the event. When I wrote this post, 71 people were signed up to attend.

One question remains: Will someone step up and coordinate a competing “March to Keep Fear Alive?” Satirist Stephen Colbert is the public face of that movement, also calling for a rally on Oct. 30.
