Environmental Justice Arrives in Washington State Law Communities closest to pollution have sounded the alarm for decades. This year, Olympia finally said: We hear you. By Erin Wong 5/17/2021 at 9:47am Â Rosalinda Guillen has been organizing for labor rights and food sovereignty in the Skagit Valley for decades.Â When she was a girl, Rosalinda Guillen could reach into the Swinomish ChannelÂ and bring up a net full of smelt. These days, the fish trickle by in small schools. Guillen, nearing 70, watches increasingly dry summers in the Skagit Valley. When rain comes,Â it s often a deluge: Farmworkers slip on their way to pick berries, rushing before they re ruined in the downpour.

KUOW - WA climate cap bill fractures alliances on its way to Inslee s desk

Cap-and-trade law tackles big polluters, fractures political alliances By at 10:24 am A sweeping climate proposal from Gov. Jay Inslee has both fractured existing alliances and sparked new ones â among activists and oil refineries alike â on its way to becoming Washington state law. The divisive bill, now awaiting Insleeâs signature after passing the state legislature, puts a cap on how much carbon dioxide the stateâs biggest polluters can spew into the air and makes it more expensive for them to do so. To keep burning the fossil fuels that both drive the economy and wreck the global climate, operators of major carbon emitters, including refineries, paper mills, and power plants would have to buy permits from the state or from each other.

Before lawmakers adjourned Sunday, they passed more than a dozen bills aimed at transforming police culture and increasing accountability. One new law requires that police officers attempt to de-escalate dangerous situations; it makes deadly force a last resort (HB 1310). Another law makes it easier to decertify officers for misconduct so they canât simply switch jobs (SB 5051).

State Attorney General to investigate Pierce County Sheriff for potential criminal violations Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer. (KIRO 7) Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday that he has formally directed state Attorney General Bob Ferguson to open an investigation into Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer, stemming from a late-January incident where Troyer called the police on a Black newspaper delivery driver. The incident in question was first reported on by the Seattle Times, describing how Troyer had reported seeing a car moving in and out of a neighbor’s driveway at 2 a.m. with its headlights off. He then confronted the driver, identified as 24-year-old Sedrick Altheimer, before making a call to dispatch that had an estimated 42 units from around the region to the scene.
