President Obama at the University of Washington with Sen. Patty Murray

One of the things I miss most about working at a newspaper is covering events like the one today at the University of Washington. President Barack Obama was in town stumping for U.S. Senator Patty Murray. The SeattlePI.com hired Red Box Pictures to photograph the president’s visit, and I was more than happy to shoot this assignment. The charismatic president energized the packed house at Hec Edmundson Pavilion. Scott Eklund
