Overwhelmingly Obama at the North Seattle Democratic Caucus - Thornton Creek School
So I just got back from my first Democratic Caucus. What a fascinating process. When you think of the word “grass-roots”, it’s really happening. You and your neighbors getting together to discuss the candidates and attempting to woo undecided voters to your camp. The turnout at the Thornton Creek School Caucus was insane. People were standing in the hallways until we broke out to into our individual precinct sessions.

Our particular caucus was civil, but I could easily see how these things could turn heated. Did any of you have crazy experiences out caucusing? If so, please leave them in the comments.

It’s built in layers along the natural slant of the mountain so that residents and guests can ski in and out no matter what floor they’re staying on.

Wonderful example of thoughtful design.
