Our next President visited Everett, WA, today, and while all the talking heads are sure he won't carry this blue state, no way, no how. The people of WA may disagree.

ERETT — Talk to the Donald Trump supporters lining up outside Xfinity Arena on Tuesday, and you’d hear a common refrain about the importance of the upcoming election: Everything.

“Our way of life is at stake,” said Shelly Fine, a medical student from Everett.

“For me, this is American history,” said Chris Wright, a 45-year-old Boeing worker from Gold Bar standing next to her in line. “This is going to be a piece of American history when this is all said and done.”

They were among the first to arrive outside the downtown Everett venue where the real-estate-mogul-turned-politician was due to speak at 7 p.m. Wright and Fine said they got there around 7 a.m. A few places ahead, two men said they had been the first to line up at 2 a.m.

By the time Trump flew into Snohomish County, the line outside the arena stretched along 10 downtown city blocks. People were making their way into the arena, a slow process given the security checks.

A rock band played live as the crowd on the floor continued to grow. One woman wore an American flag scarf around her neck, waving to friends as she went to join them. Others donned Trump blankets as capes, with red hats being a popular choice among attendees.

Dozens of police cruisers were lined on Wall Street.

State Sen. Kirk Pearson, R-Monroe, and two colleagues were among those waiting outside the VIP entrance, where security included a bag search and metal detector wands.

Trump’s plane landed at Paine Field around 4:20 p.m. He quickly left the airfield in a motorcade headed for a private fundraiser in Everett prior to the campaign rally.

People who gathered outside the arena came from places throughout Snohomish County as well as faraway locales such as Neah Bay and British Columbia

Everett is not supposed to be friendly Trump territory, and, no, I did not go. Too far to drive and I knew the size of the crowd would be horrendous. So far there have no reports of harassment or Leftist nastiness, but the day is still young.
