I just got back from the caucus in my legislative district here in Seattle.
Some notes: first time I've caucused. I'm originally from New Hampshire where, as most here know, they hold primaries.
We all met in an elementary school and divided up into precincts. Turnout as we will hear more today was huge.
One thing I liked was that you get to meet your neighbors and talk about why you support your candidate. It truly is democracy in action (though other ways are too). To show up, it is clear you want to participate and care about your candidate (if you have one) and the process.
