Yesterday #waleg passed our bill that secures a win-win compromise to protect our endangered Southern Resident orcas from boaters while also supporting the economic viability of Washington's whale watching industry. #SRKW #orcas
This legislation is the most immediate way to help our Southern Resident orcas, giving them more space and quieter waters to find the salmon that are here today, while we work on creating more salmon across the state. #waleg #SRKW #orcas
Thank you to the whale watching industry, Sen. Rolfes, Sen. Frockt, Rep. Blake and Rep. @joefitzgibbon for collaborating with us on this important bill. This innovative approach will significantly reduce underwater noise, and enhance echolocation and communication for our orcas.

HB 1578 will protect WA’s natural resources from devastating #oilspills. Preserving the health of our waters, orcas and salmon is crucial to our cultural identity, fishing economy and tourism industry. I thank Rep. Lekanoff for sponsoring this important bill. #waleg #zerospillswa
HB 1579 will implement the recommendations of my #SRKW task force to increase the abundance of Chinook salmon so #orcas have more food. I am grateful to Rep. @joefitzgibbon for your leadership on this bill. #waleg
