If you are planning to attend either the Republican or Democratic caucuses this Saturday, The Seattle Times wants your help. Times Political Editor Richard Wagoner explains:

We're recruiting citizens who plan to participate in the caucuses to send us their first-hand reports during and after the caucuses. This will give citizens an opportunity to tell their own stories of the caucuses and how they feel about the process and the results. I'm looking forward to reading these unfiltered reports from people who have a stake in the discussions.

The Times is seeking reports sent by e-mail. Participants from outside the Seattle area, including Eastern Washington, are welcome.

Press Here if you’d like to participate.

Wagoner said David Postman, chief political reporter, will be blogging results, taking feeds from at least a half-dozen other reporters at the caucuses.

We hope this will give readers a more immediate sense of what's happening at the meetings, how the debates are going and which candidates appear to be winning out. Both Postman's blog and the citizen reports will be published online, and I hope some of the content can make its way into the print editions, too

If you are uncertain about how to participate in the caucuses, here are several stories The Times has published to help you:
