"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 she’d be turning blue for the weekend.
“I’ve been getting a little concerned about religion in politics on the Republican side,” she said. “And I don’t care for the Republican candidates this time around. Trump, he’s the worst. His language, he shouldn’t be using it.”
Squibb wore a special T-shirt for her first brush with the Democratic Party. It read, “I’m going on an adventure.”
