President Barack Obama is holding a fundraiser in Medina later this month that costs $17,900 per person to attend.

The details posted on his campaign website on Wednesday show he will participate in a Medina brunch followed by a Bellevue lunch on February 17. The $17,900 brunch is being hosted at the private home of Susan and Jeff Brotman, a co-founder of Costco Wholesale Corp.

The lunch will be hosted at the Bellevue Westin and costs $1,000 per person. For $5,000, you can get a picture with President Obama.

So far, there are no announced events for Seattle. This is the third time the President has visited the state since taking office.
