The top-tier Democratic presidential candidate has seen large crowds in recent weeks, with an event in St. Paul, Minn., last week drawing about 12,000, according to her campaign.
Her event Sunday had to move locations from the WaMu Theater, with a capacity of 7,000, to the International Fountain at Seattle Center in order to accommodate more people.
Warren billed her event Sunday as the “Seattle Town Hall,” and it was her first in Washington since launching her campaign.
A spokesperson for Warren’s campaign confirmed the crowd size to The Hill and said it was the largest of her campaign to date.
