Bush expected to visit Seattle in August 07/24/2003
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper, citing “well-placed sources” in Washington and Washington, D.C., reported that Bush will be in the Puget Sound area on or about Aug. 22 to raise funds for the 2004 campaign and rally support among constituents. It would be his first visit to Washington as president. Bush will be in Portland in August 21, said Molly Bordonaro, a former Republican candidate for Congress, but she could not release any other details about the visit. Local activist Web sites say Bush will speak at the University of Portland for a fundraising luncheon. But university spokesman John Furey would neither confirm nor deny the visit. |
