EVERETT – U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., will hold campaign events today dealing with energy policy and fundraising.
At 12:45 p.m., she will arrive in a biodiesel-fueled Jeep at the Everett Shipyard, 1016 14th St. There she is expected to discuss her legislative work in environmental and alternative energy issues.
At 5:30 p.m., Cantwell will hold a fundraiser in the Everett Events Center. Tickets range from $50 to $500 for the event.
