Special Session Day 1: Forces gathering

OLYMPIA -- Legislative caucuses meet at 10 a.m. while home care workers will gathering on the steps outside the Capitol Building.

Large tents have been set up on the lawn to the east of the Legislative Building, and protesters with signs are already moving across the sidewalks and grass still wet from the morning fog.

A series of "marches" on the capitol have been scheduled throughout the day, and the House Ways and Means Committee hearing at 1:30 p.m. is expected to play to a packed house.

Expect a full day of action out of Olympia. Not sure how much news will accompany the action
