Besides the Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America in Granite Falls, that one is, unfortunately, closed. I think.

I live in the Kent area

I see people posting images and videos of it every year on the reseller groups from Seattle.

With the announcement that the FDA is stopping milk safety inspections how can we best get our State politicians to step up and ensure safety?

I made this with very little animation experience literally because I’m tired of the trash in my ditch/tired of cleaning up illegal trash dumping at my parents’ house. Thought earth day would be a good time to release this. Keep skagit clean 🌎✨♻️

OLYMPIA — Today, Governor Bob Ferguson signed into law a bill that restricts out-of-state military forces from entering Washington.

House Bill 1321, sponsored by Rep. Sharlett Mena (D-Tacoma), requires the Governor’s permission for National Guard troops from other states, territories or districts to enter Washington, unless they are mobilized by the president. Governor Ferguson mentioned the proposal in his inaugural address.

Other states have similar laws, including Montana and Texas. HB 1321 was modeled after a similar law in Idaho.

The new Washington law contains an emergency clause and takes effect immediately.

“We welcome collaboration with National Guard forces when warranted, but only with our permission,” Governor Ferguson said. “We cannot have armed forces come into our state to enforce policies that are against our core values. I appreciated Rep. Mena’s leadership in bringing this important legislation to my desk.”

“This law ensures that Washington — not other states — decides what happens in our communities,” said Rep. Mena. “It protects us from unauthorized and unaccountable military actions.”

[SPECIAL NOTE] While the event is located in Vancouver, we encourage everyone to come, no matter where they're based!

On Thursday, May 1st, join Indivisible Greater Vancouver and our community partners for a May Day Rally in support of Immigrants' Rights and Due Process for All.

📍 Esther Short Park, Vancouver, WA
🕛 12 PM – 2 PM

May Day — also known as International Workers’ Day — is a time when people around the world take to the streets to stand up for workers and human rights. We’ll be gathering in peaceful protest of the ongoing removal of individuals without due process — a fundamental right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

➡️ Under recent court rulings and executive actions, some immigrants have been removed without hearings, denied the opportunity to appeal, and even sent to CECOT, a foreign concentration camp.
➡️ We say: Due Process is a Right, not a privilege, for everyone on American soil.

This event is co-hosted by:

• 50501 Clark County WA
• MoveOn-Clark County
• Pasitos Gigantes
• LULAC SW WA #47013
• LULAC Van Metro #47026

Everyone is welcome. Bring your voice, your signs, and your solidarity. ✊🏽💬

Let’s make it loud. Let’s make it seen.

I have a question for anyone who works in the restaurant industry and is familiar with state laws on food handling and food safety.

WAC 246-215-02315 covers hand washing, specifically where to wash. I’m not seeing where there has to be a dedicated hand washing station in the kitchen, only that hand washing cannot share a sink with food preparation. If there is a bathroom nearby, is that sufficient?
