It's primary election day in #WashingtonState! It's probably too late to put your ballot in the mail and be sure that it will get postmarked today. Safer to find an official drop box and return your ballot before 8pm!

Here's an interesting Google Map of all the drop box locations in Washington.

Well, the annual tradition of 30k+ western Canadians going to #seattle to watch #bluejays home games away from home, will be pretty sparse this year.

Except for maybe fascists?

I dug into my archives and found this map I made of 2016 election results aggregated by the (then) new Whatcom County council districts introduced in 2017. Gives a rough sense of the political alignment in our small county here in the northwest corner of Washington State.

I need to update this map with new data from all the elections since 2016, obviously, but it's a hassle to work with the precinct level results. Soon.

People forget that Gov Inslee appointed Hobbs to Secretary of State to get him out of the way in the #WALeg because he was such an obstructionist. Now, no surprise, he's being an obstructionist in the SoS office.

Hey #WAState folks- there's a bill in the state senate this session that proposes switching to permanent standard time, and stops the silly clock switches for DST. Please use this link to check out the bill, and use the comment option to ask your state senator to support it/become a co-sponsor, and ask your house reps to support introducing a companion bill!

Re: last boost.

Having a capital gains tax in Washington is the biggest progressive win on taxation in decades in the state.
