I had a feeling, so turned on the camera… My friend in this video was with me 30 years ago in Cleveland where we sat in the right field bleachers surrounded by Cleveland fans and saw the Seattle Mariners beat the Indians in Game 3 of the ALCS in extra innings. This is the year! #SeizeTheMoment

What’s happening with ICE is outrageous. I'm excited to support a bill from Senator Valdez that says you cannot be masked as a law enforcement agent.

I’ve known Maura Healey a long time — I’m not surprised that she more than honored our Super Bowl bet, but we got an unexpected twist. Well played, Governor Maura Healey!

Florida’s surgeon general was asked if any studies were done before ending school vaccine requirements. He said no. That’s a shocking answer. If you’re a concerned parent in Florida, come to Washington. We make sure all families have accurate information to make decisions.

No matter how much the president wants us to believe that foreign countries bear the cost of these tariffs, that’s simply not true. There is no scenario in which these tariffs are good for Washingtonians.

I bought some milk from the Mt. Rainier Creamery last week. They're based in Buckley, and they started a pop-up location with Reynolds Trading Co. in Enumclaw after the White River Bridge closure. That's an example of the community spirit and resilience that makes Washington great. Stop by soon to support local businesses while we fix the bridge!

BREAKING: I support a Millionaires’ Tax on income over $1 million a year. The fairness of our tax system ranks 50th. Let’s make this historic change this session. This is a separate proposal from the budget I announced today — revenue would not be realized until 2029.

Last year, my first year as Governor, Washington ranked #14 in CNBC's Best States for Business. This year, we moved up 3 spots to #11. Next year, we're going to crack the top 10. We won't stop until we're #1.

Our state is moving forward as a national leader on climate, despite a federal government that seems hellbent on rolling back every ounce of progress. I appreciate Mayor Wilson and the attendees at the launch of PNW Climate Week today. What's happening in DC isn't stopping us.

This month, we launched WA Cares, becoming the first and only state to offer workers access to affordable long-term care. It's about being able to stay in your home, the dignity that comes with that, the sense of place — you can't put a price tag on that.

I recently spoke with a student who wasn't planning to go to college because he had no idea about the free money available. There are thousands like him. By requiring students to fill out the FAFSA or WASFA, or opt out, they'll have that conversation and learn what's possible.

I was just a teenager playing against an international master in West Berlin. I sacrificed my queen early in a combination that left my opponent essentially defenseless. Showing this highlight of my time playing chess for #InternationalChessDay!

I’ve said that any Millionaires' Tax I sign must send a significant percentage of that revenue back to Washingtonians. The Senate came out with a good start. Here's my proposal for cutting taxes on small businesses, getting money to working families, and reducing sales tax.

For International Chess Day, I looked back on some photos — from my match at age 11 with Joel Benjamin, who became the youngest-ever chess master, to playing a few moves with former President Joe Biden last year. It's a great game that taught me a lot of wonderful lessons. Happy #InternationalChessDay!

I recently visited the remote town of Stehekin to see flood damage firsthand and hear from impacted residents at a community meeting. The only way to get to Stehekin is via boat, plane, or on foot. My son Jack and I decided to hike in on the Chelan Lakeshore Trail. Here are some highlights from our 18-mile backpacking trip. Some things you should know if you're interested in doing the hike: The trail starts at Prince Creek, which is only accessible by boat. You can take a ferry from Chelan or Field’s Point Landing. Despite the trail name, you’re not down by the lake the whole hike and there is a lot of climbing and descending. Be prepared for a net elevation gain of about 4,000 feet. Be prepared for heat — the trail gets a lot of sun exposure. Make sure you bring plenty of water, sunscreen and cool layers to help keep you from overheating. There are sections that are quite brushy. Enjoy your time out there and make sure you give yourself time to explore Stehekin before taking the ferry back to Chelan. The bakery is incredible.

I find it deeply un-American that individuals in unmarked cars get out in masks and pluck people off the streets. When I reflect on the hundreds of bills this session, I am especially grateful that Sen. Valdez's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing masks reached my desk.

In Seattle, we're making it accessible and cost-friendly for soccer fans visiting for the World Cup. In other cities, people will be paying a lot of money to get to stadiums that aren't in the downtown core. It's the exact opposite experience here.

The Millionaires' Tax is about making life more affordable. We delivered on sending a significant portion of revenues back to Washingtonians, including the largest tax break in state history for small business owners.

Our tax system is way too regressive. Let’s use resources from a Millionaires’ Tax to provide tax credits for Washingtonians and make sure small business owners pay less in taxes.

We can't talk about our state's budget without talking about the Big Betrayal Bill, which cut essential services like Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. That bill costs Washington at least $165 million directly in this budget. We worked to mitigate those harms.

Washington state's tax system asks the most of those with the least. I signed the Millionaires' Tax to rebalance that unfair system.

I'm requesting legislation establishing that if you're not a law enforcement officer, you can't be wearing something that gives the impression you are. I also completely support the concept to ban face coverings for law enforcement officers, which Sen. Valdez has proposed.
