President Biden is scheduled to visit Seattle for a pair of campaign events on Friday and Saturday, according to confirmation from the White House. Details regarding the exact nature and location of these events are still forthcoming. However, the Seattle Police Department has acknowledged Biden’s visit and stated that it is collaborating with local, state, and federal partners to ensure security.
Reports indicate that the Biden Victory Fund has been sending out invitations for a campaign event in Seattle on Friday, with the address provided to those who RSVP. While the specific route of Biden’s visit through the Seattle area has not been disclosed, commuters should anticipate potential closures and increased traffic on major freeways on Friday due to security measures typically implemented during presidential visits.
President Biden’s last visit to the Seattle area was in 2022 during Earth Day, where he focused on issues related to green energy, healthcare costs, and energy affordability for families. Vice President Kamala Harris visited in August 2023 to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act, and First Lady Jill Biden addressed progress on the Cancer Moonshot initiative during her visit in September 2023.
Biden is expected to travel to Seattle from San Francisco, where he is scheduled to participate in two campaign events prior to his arrival in the Emerald City.
