I don't have much in the way of specifics on the free events (if any) but here is the Seattle Times account:
http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis...Democrats yesterday sent out invitations to a May 1 Seattle fund-raiser headlined by Kerry, the party's 2004 presidential nominee.
"We have started fund raising again very aggressively to pay for the field and legal operations for the rest of the case," Berendt said.
Kerry will be raising money for the state party's "Governor's Defense Fund." Tickets will cost $40 to $250 apiece.
