We must restore our ecosystem to one that sustains orcas, salmon and the quality of life for all. Today the House made a big move toward saving Southern Resident orcas by passing all three of our #orca bills with bipartisan support. #waleg #SRKW #zerospillswa Southern Resident orca leap...
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
And HB 1580 protects Southern Resident #orcas from noise and disturbance caused by vessels. We know vessels can impede the orcas' ability to navigate, communicate and hunt for prey. Thanks to Rep. Blake for your sponsorship. #waleg

COVID cases are skyrocketing, in large part due to the Delta variant. The best way to protect everyone is to get vaccinated and wear a mask.

Today I announced a vaccine requirement working in K-12, most childcare and early learning, and higher education.
It has been a long pandemic, and our students and teachers have borne their own unique burdens throughout. This virus is increasingly impacting young people, and those under the age of 12 still can’t get the vaccine for themselves. We won’t gamble with the health of our children.
K -12 educators, staff, coaches, bus drivers, volunteers and others working in school facilities will have until Oct. 18 to be fully vaccinated as a condition of employment. This includes public, private and charter schools. This does not impact students, regardless of age.

Two weeks ago, I paused our Healthy Washington reopening plan because we saw a plateau in COVID-19 activity. That plateau has become a decline.

Because of that, I’m excited to announce a path to fully reopening our state by June 30 or sooner.
medium.com/wagovernor/ins…
WA could reopen before June 30 if 70% of Washingtonians 16 and older initiate vaccination.

Right now, 57% of eligible Washingtonians have received their first dose and 43% are fully vaccinated.

If you haven’t scheduled your vaccination yet go to vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov.
Starting Tuesday, all Washington counties will move to Phase 3 of the Healthy Washington plan. We will stay at 50% capacity for most indoor activities until after June 30.

However, if statewide ICU capacity reaches 90% at any point we will rollback activities to save lives.

The recent shootings in Atlanta and Boulder remind us that COVID-19 hasn’t stopped the crisis of gun violence.
At the state or federal level, we must act to stop the preventable gun violence that happens every day, especially when easy access to firearms mixes with violence, hate and racism.
This is a moment that calls for leadership. As President Biden said, we can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country – I was proud to do so when I represented central Washington in 1994. It was the right policy for our country then, and it still is.

Today FEMA approved the state and the Yakima County Health District’s application for a mass vaccination site. READ: governor.wa.gov/news-media/fem…
We are appreciative to @fema and our other federal partners for working with us to make significant additional resources available to the people of the Yakima Valley.
This will provide 1,200 vaccinations daily and will be a tremendous boost to our vaccine equity efforts and will also reach out directly to Washingtonians who don’t have the means of transportation to a fixed vaccination site.

I stand today with our state’s Asian and Pacific Islander communities, which have come under increased racist attacks over the last year.
This violent hate is not new – our Black, Indigenous and other communities of color have been victims of this insidious brand of cultural violence and white supremacy for centuries – but it remains no less urgent to defeat it.
To do that, we must continue to build respect for one another, respect that is reflected in our shared quality of life and our shared values of dignity.

Today, we’re taking action to make sure that every child in Washington state has an option for onsite learning. I will be issuing an emergency proclamation that will give every K-12 student the opportunity for on-site learning.
This has been a long year for Washington’s children. More than half of our schools have returned to some form of in-person instruction, but there are still hundreds of thousands of students who have not had access to in-person learning.
The impact of this pandemic on our children’s mental health has created a crisis among our young people. Now is the time for all schools to return to in-person learning.
