After wrapping up a visit in Everett, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is heading to an event all the way down in Puyallup — to be followed by a Seattle rally this evening. Public transit agencies are already putting out alerts. With her going more or less from one end of the Puget Sound area to the other, this could make for much bigger tie-ups than those around Vice President Joe Biden's fund raiser for Sen. Patty Murray and a visit to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
The Herald reports Clinton used her speech at Boeing in Everett to stress her support for the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance airplane sales to foreign customers. Her rival Sen. Bernie Sanders has voted against the bank.
To top off the Tuesday troubles, traffic in downtown Seattle was being tied up by the spectacle of a man, likely homeless, who climbed up in a Spruce outside Macy's to hurl insults, apples, oranges and cones from the tree at police negotiators. The Seattle Times has comments from passersby praising police negotiators for their patience.
