9. Show the world that Seattle is serious about climate change

8. Free buttons!

7. Send a message to policymakers

6. Take part in an unprecedented global collection of human aerial art

5. There’s a strict moratorium on singing “Kumbaya” and “We Are the World”

4. The viaduct is closed this weekend, so getting anywhere else will be a hassle

3. You don’t want Capitol Hill to be waterfront property

2. This could be your last chance to get a photo taken with Mayor Nickels
