It’s not often that the Pres­i­dent of the Unit­ed States is here in our region for an occa­sion like Earth Day, but it’s cer­tain­ly fit­ting that he is. Here’s an anno­tat­ed look at his plans for the day, as announced by the White House press office.

The 46th Pres­i­dent of the Unit­ed States is on his way to Ore­gon and Wash­ing­ton State for his first offi­cial vis­it as Com­man­der-in-Chief to both states, accom­pa­nied by a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of aides and advi­sors from the White House.

At the dai­ly White House press brief­ing, Press Sec­re­tary Jen Psa­ki made pub­lic an ini­tial list of sup­port­ing speak­ers at Biden’s offi­cial events and elab­o­rat­ed on the themes for each.

This will be Biden’s first trip to Wash­ing­ton and Ore­gon as Pres­i­dent. Biden has already been to Ida­ho as Pres­i­dent, stop­ping in Boise for a vis­it as part of anoth­er trip out west that he took last year. Biden was most recent­ly in Seat­tle in 2019 dur­ing a pre-pan­dem­ic fundrais­ing swing as part of his pres­i­den­tial campaign.
