MEDINA, Wash. -- About 100 anti-Bush demonstrators marched nearly three miles Friday through two Seattle suburbs, at one point waving their protest signs and banners as President Bush's motorcade passed by en route from a high-priced Republican fundraising event.

The motorcade drove by unimpeded as the chanting, shouting protesters stood behind police lines and barricades.

During a three-hour visit, the president headlined a reception at the waterfront estate of Microsoft Corp. executive Peter Neupert, raising an estimated $800,000 for U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert and the state GOP. Bush made no public appearances. <snip>

She said protests should be part of everyone's summer vacation. <snip>
