Next, Bernie headed to Seattle, where tens of thousands waited in the rain for several hours to see him speak.
.@CNN hey, just writing to let you know there are 30K people waiting in the rain to see Bernie in Seattle. Thought that might be newsworthy.

As is customary, Bernie’s arrival was an economic boon for local merchants.
Bernie's killing our economy. Every pot shop in #Spokane is empty right now.

The Senator’s stamina did not go unnoticed by the People.

Washington voters will caucus this Saturday, March 26. By the looks of it, Bernie Sanders should pull out a resounding victory.
Tyson Manker is a former combat marine, attorney, college professor, and candidate for State’s Attorney in Morgan County Illinois. He serves as the National Director of Vets for Bernie. Follow him on Twitter @mankerlaw.

My birth state of Washington is soo right. Bernie is higher powered!!!!!!!! Hello to Washington and my birth town of Tacoma. Love to all.
I’m from Tacoma, too!

We started lining up at 9am in Spokane! There was already a huge line by 2pm!
Thank you for reporting on this! They are wrong when they sat this campaign is over. We will not be silenced by the mainstream media! Share the hell out of this, tell your friends and family Bernie’s race is far from over!
Actually people were lining up at 12 in Spokane. I was there at 1 and there were at least 100 people in front of me! !
Meanwhile, Hillary appears at a Medina fundraiser with the 1%…
Stood in line for hours and didn’t get it. Still it’s about a shoe of support. I got to meet some awesome people. I ended up going home and watching it live stream! Spokane for Bernie
My nephews were 3rd in line, and got there at 11. I heard the first person in line got there at 730am!
Thank you, Washington!!!
The word needs to circulate: If, heaven forbid, Senator Sanders loses this primary he absolutely must run in the general election on a third party ticket. Fact is, it just might be a blessing in disguise; it is way past time to do away with the two-party system, which has utterly corrupted the political process. Run Bernie, Run and Keep On Running No Matter What!
I wonder if the press covered the events and talked about this crowds.
