Donald Trump’s campaign has confirmed the Republican presidential nominee is coming to Western Washington for a fundraiser and a rally Tuesday. There were rumors the campaign swing to the Northwest might not happen after Trump cancelled a similar stop next week in Portland.

Trump’s campaign booked the 10,000-person capacity Xfinity Arena in Everett for an evening public rally, which will be preceded by a private, high-dollar fundraiser in the Seattle area.

Washington State Republican Party Chairman Susan Hutchison said she’s “thrilled” Trump is coming back to the region. The New York businessman previously campaigned in the Northwest before the May primaries.

“He gets to talk about his issues, but he also gets to hear about our issues,” Hutchison said. “One of the things I noticed about Donald Trump when he came to Spokane is that he had done his research about our state. He talked about timber jobs. Well, I haven’t heard anybody talk about timber jobs on the national front in a very long time.”

Hutchison said holding the Trump rally in Snohomish County — for which Everett is the county seat — has additional strategic value. She hopes the event energizes conservative voters in the populous county to potentially swing some local and state races. In 2012, Snohomish County went for Democrat Jay Inslee with 51 percent of the vote in the gubernatorial race.
