​Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will campaign in Washington on Tuesday, two days after a three-city visit by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Washington Democrats will choose Saturday between Clinton and Sanders for their party’s presidential nomination. That will happen at caucuses around the state. (Results of a primary this May don’t count in the Democratic contest.)

In between speaking to supporters in Everett and Seattle, Clinton plans to stop in Puyallup to meet with Native American tribal leaders from across the state.

Also Tuesday, Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, is scheduled to speak at campaign events in Tacoma. Her schedule includes a 9:30 a.m. stop at the Advanced Technology Center at Bates Technical College, 2320 S. 19th St., then a 10:45 a.m. stop at the Clinton campaign’s Tacoma office, 3411 S. Union Ave.
