Eleven members from LWV Snohomish County took the new Sound Transit light rail from Lynnwood to Seattle on Sept. 27 to see Suffs, the Tony Award-winning musical about the women who led the fight to vote in the United States. 

It was a busy day as the Snohomish League also held its annual Fire Up! kickoff meeting in Everett that morning. 

“It was a day of empowerment, history and entertainment,” said Jen Winckler, communications director for the Snohomish League.  “As the League tirelessly pushes forward, it was good to hear reminders of the ‘before’ story from the perspective of the original suffragists.” 

The play was performed at 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle. Winckler said the Snohomish League members who attended the play wore League t-shirts, prompting a number of compliments from others who attended.  

Suffs launched its 27-city North American tour in early September in Yakima.
