I’ll be heading to Spokane Sunday morning to meet with responders and monitor the emergency response. My thoughts are with the first responders and all those under evacuation tonight. If you are in the area, please continue to be vigilant and follow directions of emergency personnel.

I’ve organized an emergency briefing to discuss the serious situation in Spokane. We’re monitoring the situation closely, more to come. If you are in the area, please follow instructions from emergency personnel and obey any evacuation orders. www.krem.com/article/news...

The National Weather Service issued a "Particularly Dangerous Situation" warning for fire conditions today — that's a step above a Red Flag Warning. The conditions are extreme, and the danger is real. That's why I've declared a state of emergency — statewide — including a burn ban.

Our record-setting drought and high winds are creating dangerous conditions across the state. I am declaring an emergency to help prevent loss of life and property damage. As part of this declaration, I'm declaring a statewide burn ban.

Washington state is the most generous state in the country for providing free money for young people to go to college or get job training. However, we rank 40th in completing the form that unlocks that aid — that's not going to get the job done.

I recently signed a bill from Sen. Slatter preventing landlords from prohibiting safe, portable air conditioners. The law took effect this summer. This helps our housing laws keep up with heat waves that are getting hotter and longer.
