The Women in Black will stand vigil for Ken Trygg at noon today.

Trygg was a local transient who was found dead last Thursday behind a dumpster on Market Street.

The vigil will take place from noon until 1 p.m. outside the Seattle Justice Center at 5th and Cherry.

The Women in Black will be joined by members of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, who are fasting, praying and calling for action for a compassionate State budget.

The Women in Black hold silent vigils whenever a homeless person dies outside in King County.
