The King County Republican Party booth at Seattle’s Bumbershoot festival was vandalized late on Sunday evening, party officials said.

Vandals tore open the closed tent, flipped over a table full of literature and lit part of the display on fire.

A person at a nearby booth saw the fire and put it out.

“This incident sadly obscures what has otherwise been a great experience for us at Bumbershoot," said party chairman Lori Sotelo.

The party has had a booth at the annual arts festival for the past five years.

Party volunteers gathered on Monday to help clean up the booth.
