We were both elected as delegates at our precinct caucus, so we went to our District Caucus.  The majority of the effort at that caucus was electing people to the state caucus, in Spokane.

Quite a few people showed up... we're the only district in the county where all of the people representing us are from our party... so we're being "targeted" this year... we have some strong people in office, and they're doing a good job, but its still going to be ugly this year, it seems.

It was held at the Issaquah "Freshman Campus"... a school larger than the high school I went to, just for Freshman.

Its already full, and overcrowded... seems they'll be building more schools shortly.

Things were just getting underway when we arrived.. the meeting was called to order about 10 minutes later... perfect timing.  :-)  It took from 9 until 11 just to figure out how many folks we had seated in order for the elections to begin... things weren't going very smoothly.

Reagan Dunn talked to us for a while, filling us in on what we're up against in the coming election season, and getting us fired up for Dino (who's also from our district, by the way).

Then came the elections for the state caucus representatives... they had a miserable counting set up, and things REALLY drug out.

Even the little guy got bored with everything, and took a nap.

We listened to people lobby their cause to get elected while they were counting the first tally... it looked as if there were going to be a lot of rounds before it was all over...

We didn't stay -- we had plans for the afternoon, and we were all hungry... not sure how long it all took, but the first round was still going on at quarter to 1.
