Taxes, police reform and environment. Washington legislators wrap historic session
Fifteen weeks ago, majority Democrats in the Washington Legislature convened a 105-day session vowing to address the fallout from COVID-19, police accountability, greenhouse gas emissions and issues of racial justice.
On Sunday, Democrats adjourned the session having accomplished much of what they set out to do, including passage of a number of sweeping bills that Gov. Jay Inslee, in a statement, called âhistoricâ in nature. This session s accomplishments are as important to the long-term well-being of our state as any session I ve seen, Inslee said in prepared remarks.
The final weekend proved a whirlwind. Among their final acts, Democrats approved a roughly $59 billion, two-year state operating budget along with a new â and long-elusive â capital gains tax aimed at Washingtonâs wealthiest residents.

The train left Wilmington at 6 a.m. and after making over a dozen stops to pick up additional passengers, the train arrived at Rehoboth four and a half hours later. After more than seven hours to enjoy the beach, the excursionists reboarded the train at 6 p.m. for the return to Wilmington.
After Rehoboth Beach was founded in 1873, the railroad came to town five years later. In an era where the most common form of land transportation meant traveling along dusty, unpaved roads behind a team of animals whose barnyard aroma did little to enhance the ambiance of the experience, a railroad coach was a rolling palace.
