SEATTLE – About 600 high school students marched through the streets of Seattle Friday in protest of the Iraq war.

The students marched from Seattle Central Community College on Capitol Hill to Westlake Park in Downtown Seattle and then on to Judkins Park near the International District.

Some shouted: "This is what democracy looks like."

In the Central District, the students marched to the U.S. Navy recruiting center. The teenagers say the military is targeting low income students and they want it to stop.

Many of the protestors held up signs and banners, including one saying "Money for education and jobs, not war."

The protest is one of many around Western Washington by students speaking out against the war.

A military recruiting protest was also being planned at the Tacoma Mall.

Police say the protesters did not break the law. There were no injuries and no arrests.
