President Joe Biden made his first west coast visit as commander-in-chief this week, talking infrastructure and attending a fundraiser in Portland on April 21 before heading to Seattle to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.

The president’s visit began with a speech at the Portland Air National Guard Base hangar at Portland International Airport, where he highlighted the $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan he signed into law on Nov. 15 and described how it impacts an ongoing project to make PIA runways more earthquake resilient.
