The Washington State Democratic Party holds its yearly crab feed Monday at Saint Martin’s University’s sports pavilion. Top party leaders – including Gov. Chris Gregoire, U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, and Congressmen Adam Smith and Jay Inslee – are expected to show up and speak to the $50 per person event.

The yearly fund-raiser for the party begins at 5 p.m. The party also plans a grassroots forum and training session earlier in the day at the university. Tickets are sold at the door or via the state party web site or here.
