OLYMPIA – The Washington State Senate passed Thursday two controversial climate proposals that look to reduce carbon emissions in the state: a “cap-and-trade” bill and a clean fuel standard.
Both bills have been proposed by Democrats and Gov. Jay Inslee for years, but neither has made its way through the Legislature.

The Washington State Senate passed a bill Tuesday night banning the use of Native American mascots in public schools.

Schools that have been already using Native imagery will also be allowed to gradually phase out uniforms and other materials.
Supporters of the bill have fought back against arguments that mascots honor the history and legacy of Washington’s Native population. ....
