@TCSWashington Meanwhile Sponge Bob Square Pants made a new landmark rating for this state. He should be so proud of his arrogant self
Washington state's status solidifies as one of the most expensive places in U.S.https://t.co/KybcTfdrg4
BREAKING: @GovBobFerguson just signed HB 2266 into law, allowing permanent supportive housing for drug addicted folks statewide (including in your neighborhood) without requiring that they receive treatment. Local jurisdictions cannot say no either.
🚨Former Washington State Rep. Robert J. Sutherland Moves to Idaho After 36 Years
Former Washington state Rep. Robert J. Sutherland (R-Granite Falls) announced Friday he and his wife are moving to Idaho after 36 years of living, working and raising their four children in Washington state.
In a social media post, Sutherland said he is leaving Washington to Idaho “where our Rights are respected and our property isn’t slowly being taken from us, more and more each year.”
🟥Rep. Sutherland: "After 36 years of living, working and raising our four kids in WA State it is time for us to move on. My wife and I have purchased a house in Idaho and are in the process of moving. Why? Because we prefer to live in a State where our Rights are respected and our property isn’t slowly being taken from us, more and more each year. We’ve met some great people over the years and we are going to miss you all dearly. But we look forward to meeting new friends as we begin this new chapter in our lives. Peace out."
Sutherland, a Republican Libertarian, served in the Washington House of Representatives from 2019 to 2023 representing the 39th Legislative District, which covers portions of Snohomish, Skagit and King counties. A U.S. Air Force veteran and biochemist who studied at Gonzaga University, he previously ran for Snohomish County auditor, Snohomish County council and U.S. House of Representatives.
Sutherland drew criticism for telling followers on Facebook to “prepare for war,” shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a major lawsuit challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election and he declared Joe Biden was not his president. He referred to the election outcome as a “coup” against President Donald J Trump.
He was one of three Republicans who attended in August 2021 the Mike Lindell’s “Cyber Symposium” on election-fraud in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Public records show that he used taxpayer funds to travel to the event. Sutherland defended the trip in emails to reporters, saying he planned to use information from the symposium to draft election-related legislation for the 2022 session.
Sutherland was also a very vocal opponent to COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandates in the Legislature. In March 2022, the House issued him a formal reprimand for inappropriate conduct toward the Sergeant-at-Arms, which he later paid $2,500 to settle a related state ethics complaint alleging harassment of a legislative employee.
WE WERE TOLD THERE’S NO FRAUD: King County kept paying DCHS contractors despite fraud warnings, then fired the whistleblower: report https://t.co/uv4ZQmZLuc
Are Washington State Democrats covering up fraud?!
Democrats in Olympia are pushing legislation to make it harder to scrutinize daycare providers. Right on cue.

WA State Dems have introduced a bill, SB 5974, which will strip local control of our elected Sheriff’s. This bill shifts the power of electing who you want to elect, from you to a Governor appointed group of bureaucrats. Under this bill the state gains the power to decide who can run for Sheriff and once elected if they can stay in office or not. The Sheriff is the ONLY elected peace officer in the entire country and this bill removes the power of the people over their Sheriff and places it in the hands of the Governor! Contact your reps and tell them to kill this Bill SB 5974.
@GovBobFerguson Hey Bobby...is there a fat chance you could possibly take heed of what is happening in CA with tax the rich? Jobs will be lost due to the exodus of these big corporations. Hownisnthis helping the hard working citizens in this state? Waiting for an answer?
