First lady Jill Biden coming to Seattle this week

First Lady Jill Biden is slated for another visit to Seattle this week. Unlike many high-profile visits in the past, when politicians fly in and out of town within a day, Biden will spend Thursday and Friday in the area.

The first lady is fundraising locally for the Biden Victory Fund, as part of the 2024 election campaign. This includes events in Shoreline and on Mercer Island, according to The Seattle Times, which cost thousands of dollars to attend.

She also plans to talk about President Joe Biden's "Cancer Moonshot Initiative" at Seattle's Fred Hutch Cancer Center on Friday.

Biden is expected to arrive at King County International Airport in Seattle on Thursday evening, Sept. 21. As she is transported around the city, expect traffic delays throughout the region's roadways, especially on the freeways, such as I-5 through Seattle, and I-90 across Mercer Island.

Biden's trip to Seattle is part of a West Coast tour that also includes Los Angeles and San Diego. She will travel through California on Saturday, following her appearances in Seattle.

This is Biden's third visit to the Seattle area during her tenure as first lady. She previously visited the area in October 2022, when she spoke to students at Bates Technical College in Tacoma, and also came to support events for military caregivers and wounded soldiers. Biden also visited with military families and organizations during her March 2021 visits to Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Whidbey Island.

The first lady's September visit to Seattle comes nearly a month after Vice President Kamala Harris came through to promote "Bidenomics" and the administration's efforts to combat climate change.
