Happy cutoff day!! Anything that wasn't a budget or that wasn't necessary to implement a budget needed to pass out of the House or Senate in Olympia today at 5 pm. I'll write more about the blood left on the floor next week, but one death jumped out at me: A bill to legalize backyard cottages statewide is done. Hard to say why at the moment, but Sen. Lisa Wellman (D-Mercer Island) hung a bunch.
