"At Edmonds-Woodway High School in Snohomish County, Marian Squibb, 90, was the first caucusgoer to show up. She parked her car at 8 a.m. after a short drive from her retirement home.
My husband and I always voted Republican, she said. This is my first time ever (caucusing as a Democrat).
Squibb, who was leaning toward Sanders, said her adult children are Democrats and were surprised when they heard shed be turning blue for the weekend.
Ive been getting a little concerned about religion in politics on the Republican side, she said. And I dont care for the Republican candidates this time around. Trump, hes the worst. His language, he shouldnt be using it.
Squibb wore a special T-shirt for her first brush with the Democratic Party. It read, Im going on an adventure.
