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

Washingtonians affected by these fires are hurting in very deep ways. We're coordinating at every level of government to make sure they get the assistance they need. We’re in this for the long haul.

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!

It's morally bankrupt what Congress and President Trump did to kick people off Medicaid. What we have to do is get to work — we're saving Apple Health coverage for hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians.

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.

In 2023, when I was Attorney General, I joined Isabella and Grace to announce our lawsuit against Meta for intentionally putting profits before the well-being of young people. Today, our Attorney General Nick Brown announced a $17.1 billion settlement, with hundreds of millions going to Washington state — the biggest tech settlement in history. Meta also must implement important safety features on Instagram and Facebook designed to protect children, like daily time limits and pauses while using the app. This is a historic win for kids in our state and across the world. I’m proud to have filed the case, and proud of the hard work of our Attorney General’s team.

More and more states are moving to get rid of cell phones in schools. The science is clear, the studies are clear, and the impacts are obvious to any educator. In the same way we look back at smoking on airplanes and wonder how we ever allowed that, that's how we'll view cell phones being available in classrooms.

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.

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.

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.

We are likely heading for the tough reality that this may be the worst fire season in Washington state history. I signed an emergency proclamation to remove as many barriers to recovery as we can, as quickly as possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Spokane, a city of 230,000 people, you can imagine all that goes with having 65,000 people evacuated in a matter of hours. I deeply appreciate the federal assistance on emergency shelters, food and water, and search and rescue.

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.
