President Barack Obama is holding a fundraiser in a Seattle suburb later this month that costs $17,900 per person to attend.
The details posted on his campaign website on Wednesday show he will participate in a Medina brunch followed by a Bellevue lunch on February 17. The $17,900 brunch is being hosted at the private home of Susan and Jeff Brotman, a co-founder of Costco Wholesale Corp. The lunch is hosted at a hotel and costs $1,000 per person.
The more expensive gathering will provide $5,000 per person to his re-election campaign while the remainder of each donation goes to the Democratic National Committee.
Obama previously visited Seattle in September for fundraisers.
