Seattle Times Pictures of the Year 2010

Oct. 24: President Obama greets a cheering crowd during a campaign rally for Sen. Patty Murray on Oct. 21 at Hec Edmundson Pavilion at the University of Washington. He also stumped for his economic policies in the face of high unemployment. "President Barack Obama's visit to Seattle capped off a very busy week for me in October. I also covered the visits of Vice President Joseph Biden and former President Clinton just days earlier. Most of the images I made from Obama's event were from a distance due to media restrictions. So near the end of the event, I was happy to see him making his way to a spot right in front of me to shake hands with people in the crowd. This was my favorite from the pictures I made in that short window of time." - John Lok
