Last edited Fri Aug 7, 2015, 11:31 PM - Edit history (1)

Sanders will be at Westlake Park in Seattle Saturday afternoon to speak at a "Social Security Works" rally, followed that evening by a campaign rally at the University of Washington. He's also scheduled to hold a rally at Portland's Memorial Coliseum Sunday night, before heading to an event in Los Angeles Monday.

and I know people who are driving down from Sacramento to see him. People are going to be coming from all over California. Hell, you can ride Amtrak down to Union Station and take the MetroLink to the L.A. Sports Arena.

That may work for a few people, largely though it is well out of reach for people here. It's at least 9 hours each way from here by car, longer if hooking up with carpools or transit. Also huge carbon footprint. And let's face it, northern and southern California are just two different worlds, I'd rather visit Texas, and don't get me started how I feel about visiting Texas.

Glad you will get to see him. Give us a report and have a great time!

I believe this is the University of Washington rally ... Bernie hasn't come out yet, and there seems to be no audio atm.
