2024 Washington State Democratic Convention general session convenes to consider platform, resolutions, governance chang

Welcome back to NPI’s continuing coverage of the 2024 Washington State Democratic Convention. Today, the general session convened to allow delegates to discuss resolutions and hear from Democratic committees and party leadership.

The elevator doors at the Meydenbauer Center opened to a beehive of activity, and I was swept up into a long line of delegates waiting to pass through a security and bag check before entering Center Hall B, the room that’s hosting the general session.

Once inside the hall, delegates took seats at either round tables or in rows facing the main stage, where a panel of party leaders and convention committee chairs slowly assembled. To accommodate security screening needs, the first general session did not begin until around 9:30 AM, about half an hour after the advertised start time, so delegates waited in anticipation of today’s speakers, which will include U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene, and the party’s items of business.

As with the gala dinner last night, Party Chair Shasti Conrad opened the proceeding.
