Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in Seattle (well, Bellevue)?
Betsy DeVos.
Yes, the folks over at the Washington Policy Center have scored the services of Secretary DeVos for their annual fundraiser dinner on October 13th. Tickets starts at $350. The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
There is already a protest rally being organized. Naturally, having the event at an eastside hotel (which tend to have large swaths of parking lots) makes protesting more of a faraway event but I think that was by design.
I expect this protest will pick up steam as the event gets closer. Myself? Looking for a bear costume or pondering buying a ticket. I think it would be of value to have someone listening (and reporting) exactly what she says).

Very funny, Sped parent. She won't allow any public school parent within 500 feet of her.

There is a group mobilizing to disrupt and promote violence against others who do not share their views.
One of the main organizers of the violence is blogger Melissa Westbrook of Seattle WA.

Geary you are already a lame duck, so why do you continue your antics.
Is the $50 donation an attempt get back an Westbrook's good side?
Reality
No one has done any violence against Secretary DeVos and no one will at this protest. No group or I have done any such promoting. It is lawful to protest in the U.S.A.
I don't know that Director Geary wanting to hear what the head of public education in the U.S. is a bad thing. I think she just wants to be fully informed and knows that it won't come from most media outlets (not in the thorough manner that I will do it).
We may have differing views on some topics but I like and respect Director Geary.
And it is "its", not "it's" in this case.
You're it!

I'll have to ask Director Geary about HCC because I didn't know she felt that way previous to this year. But it's just a big leap to say she's a Trump supporter.
