With shipping costs alone hitting $70K for Oregon and Washington’s lieutenant governor citing a dire financial climate, both states say they’ll prioritize local celebrations instead. Even some musical acts have walked away, uncomfortable with the fair’s shifting tone — now amplified by President Trump’s scheduled opening. While organizers insist all states will still be represented, it’s unclear how Oregon and Washington will show up. Their governors are making it clear: they’re celebrating the milestone locally — and separately — from the fair’s partisan spotlight.
