Photos of presidents visiting our state!

In honor of Presidents Day, we’re taking a look back at those occasions when a U.S. president has left the White House to visit our own Washington.  Our Digital Archives has several photos showing presidents in The Evergreen State over the years.

Last but not least, we have a 1968 photo of Republican nominee Richard Nixon (right) with Governor Dan Evans at a campaign event in Seattle, months before Nixon was elected the 37th president.
