A smiling President Jimmy Carter on September 23, 1980, the date of his brief stopover in Tacoma. President Carter was on a whirlwind four-state tour as he campaigned not only for his own re-election but also for other Democratic incumbents and candidates. He was greeted heartily by his supporters upon his arrival on Air Force One at McChord AFB and also during his stops at Beacon Senior Citizen Center, Continental Grain terminal, the Carter-Mondale campaign office on Pacific Ave. and finally at the Bicentennial Pavilion for a Democratic Party fundraiser. The President squeezed in all these visits during a mere three hours in Tacoma.
