Biden in Seattle this week

Vice President Joe Biden makes a stop in Seattle this week for a speech at Renton Technical College the next morning.

Biden will be campaigning for Democrats in California on Tuesday and in Oregon for U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley on Wednesday. He'll fly to Seattle from Portland for overnight accommodations, then get up the next morning for a speech at the college. It recently received a grant from the U.S. Labor Department for job training and Biden "will highlight the importance of investing in our nation's workforce and growing the economy," the notice from the White House said.

One can only hope he gets a good question from the RTC student body like he did at Harvard over the weekend.

He's also scheduled to attend a political event with Sen. Maria Cantwell in the afternoon at the Seattle Convention Center that's designed to raise money for Democratic women senators and several who are running to be senators.
