In light of the recent tragedy in San Diego, it's more important than ever to show that we welcome our Muslim neighbors and honor their culture and religious practice.
I'm proud that Washington state is the first state in the country to recognize Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak to Muslim Washingtonians celebrating Eid al-Adha today!
I want the public to know the extent of the coordination that's going on between the local, state, and federal government regarding the tank failure in Longview. Everybody is working very hard together in full cooperation to help us get through this challenging time.
At the state level, our Emergency Management Department has been in constant contact with local responders and offering support.
We've mobilized the Washington National Guard Civil Support Team, which is now on site. They will assist, for example, the Department of Ecology with air monitoring.
I've directed the National Guard Homeland Response Force to be on site to assist with search and recovery in a contaminated environment as well as mass decontamination.
The Department of Ecology is on site monitoring water quality, the Department of Labor & Industries is ready to begin investigating once first responders finish their important work, and the Department of Health is assisting with emergency medical logistics.
The state stands ready to continue our support.

@papiwontmiss all men are the same! My bf and I were going to one of his friends weddings and I asked him what their colors were and he goes "well I'm assuming she'll wear white" ... not even the groomsmen knew their colors LOL

This is exciting news. As a kid, I grew up watching the Sonics in the old Coliseum. As Governor, I’m committed to doing everything I can to bring back the Sonics.
Snow zoomies activated! ❄️ Our muskoxen were taking full advantage of today’s snow with plenty of racing, bouncing and embracing the winter weather.

A band of lingering, heavy, sleety March snow over the Central Sound has prompted a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY through Saturday morning. While things are still wet at sea level, some hills will pick up an additional 1-4" of slushy snow overnight. #WAwx
A maniac in a minivan sped through the scene of a SWAT standoff just now in White Center.
Our photographer was at the scene filming when a woman became irate she couldn't drive down the street. She left and then came speeding back - this is what happened next.
