I heard several places that 17 year olds could participate, so long as they would be old enough to vote before the election...
Yes, they can. People who are 17 now but will be 18 by the time the general election occurs register to vote at the caucus itself (see Register to vote in Washington State (http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/register.aspx) for more info).
When you come to the caucus, you sign your name, address, candidate preference, etc, into the sign-up sheet. This will officially be checked with the voter rolls. You can participate in the caucus if you are not registered to vote, but you cannot vote in the caucus (in other words, you should not register). If you do, your vote will be stricken from the final record.
