According to the the Seattle Times (August 4,2004), Mr. President George W. Bush is coming to Seattle.
Bush is scheduled to visit the area for a $2,500-per-person fund-raiser Aug. 13, Bob Strauss, president of the Eastside Republican Club, announced at a club function last night.
The price rises to $10,000 for a photo opportunity with the president and $25,000 for a private reception and a photo, Strauss told the party faithful.

The White House and the Bush campaign will not confirm presidential visits this far in advance.

Vote for a Change - Volunteer to Make a Difference This Election Year
US Census data confirms that voter registration and participation rates decline dramatically and consistently as household incomes decline. Poverty Action surveyed more than 350 people with low-incomes in Washington state about their voting habits and found that nearly half of those registered to vote had never voted.
