Caucuses
((Above left) ABOUT 1,200 PEOPLE from east Snohomish County squeezed into the Monroe High School commons Saturday to take part in the Democratic caucuses. Each precinct chose delegates to represent their favorite candidates at the next round of caucuses. The state Democratic Party chooses its candidates based entirely on the caucus system.
(Above right) REPUBLICAN VOTERS from the east county met at three locations, including Park Place Middle School, to choose not only candidates but to rank by priority the issues on the party's platform. State Republicans choose candidates based on the results of the caucuses as well as the results of a primary election, to be held Feb 19. Photos by Jim Scolman

Turnout strong at local precincts
The Democrat voters of Monroe Precinct 6, who Saturday had navigated through a crushing throng of other Democrats in the commons at Monroe High School to find their table, marked, as all the tables were, by a volunteer holding aloft a sign, sifted through a bewildering array of papers on the table.Yelling over the noise, they found the checklist marking the nine sheets of paper that must be filled out and turned in to party organizers. Then the voters, many of whom had never attended a caucus before, began to try to figure out how to accomplish their task; to decide how many delegates to assign to each candidate.

Caucus
ORV lovers on trail to official park at Reiter outside Gold Bar
Riding in a truck with Ed Tenney feels a lot like riding a bull must feel, except in slow motion.If that truck happens to be in Reiter Trails, that is.
It seems that every moment he is either headed for a giant boulder, tree stump,or hip-deep mud pit which he plows through or over in his four-wheel drive Jeep Wrangler.Behind him three other members of the Timber Tamers, the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) club to which he belongs, trundle over logs and rocks, communicating by CB radio as they go.
