Democracy is truly on the ballot in WA this election, giving Democrats a supermajority will put an end to bipartisan politics and turn the entire state in to Sh*t-eattle. Shared this article from Brandy Kruse to explain in detail. Whether you are right, left or center, a supermajority of either party should scare you, please educate yourself on who you are voting for and why.

7 must-win seats to stop a dangerous Democratic supermajority.
You know those pesky citizen initiatives that have been a thorn in the side of the party in power? Consider them the first thing on the chopping block.

If there is anything more dangerous than one-party control of government, it’s one party with enough power to push through virtually any policy without discussion or dissent.

And it won't stop there.

As far-Left bloggers at The Stranger in Seattle put it, gleefully: “Supermajorities + Democratic Governor = Power to Fix the State Constitution.”

That’s exactly what Washington State Democratic Party Chair Shashti Conrad said her plan is – posting as much on social media last year.

“With supermajorities we can clean up the constitution! My goal for 2026!”

You know those pesky citizen initiatives that have been a thorn in the side of the party in power? Consider them the first thing on the chopping block.

That should strike fear in the heart of any reasonable citizen – right, left, and center.

Currently, Democrats hold strong majorities in both chambers in Washington state. The party has 29 of 49 seats in the Senate and 58 of 98 seats in the House. While a supermajority in the House may have to wait until 2026, the State Senate could get there sooner. Democrats just need to net four additional seats in November.

And they’re already plotting their wish list.

From The Stranger:

'It’s pretty exciting, heavy stuff to think about what kinds of things might be possible for us,' said state Sen. Jamie Pedersen, who chairs the Washington Senate Democratic Campaign committee.

In phone interviews, both he and his counterpart in the House, Rep. Monica Stonier, mentioned changing the school bond threshold to a simple majority, codifying abortion protections, and adjusting some language to allow the state to experiment with universal basic income programs.
You read that correctly – universal basic income. Add to that rent control and unemployment benefits for striking workers. Both policies narrowly failed to get across the finish line this past legislative session. They will be reintroduced in January.

The good news is voters in key districts across the state can stop such policies from being railroaded through. There are 7 seats Republicans must either keep or flip to avoid losing influence in Olympia and sending Washington state government down a destructive path.

Heads up for the weekend if plan on going anywhere.

It's the first weekend and Paint map of the summer! Plenty of events across the state and plenty of work zones to drive slowly, carefully and calmly through. Here’s some of the highlights:
• It’s Pride weekend in Seattle! Lots of events making heading in and out of Downtown, Capitol Hill and Seattle Center challenging. Consider transit, cycling, walking, carpooling, etc. if you can.
• SR 9 is fully closed between Market Place and Lundeen Park Way in Lake Stevens through 5 a.m. Wednesday, June 28. A signed detour is in place.
• 148th Avenue NE and the ramps to/from it at eastbound SR 520 in the Overlake Village neighborhood in Bellevue and Redmond will be closed from 11 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday.
• Southbound SR 99/599 will be closed at Tukwila International Blvd from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday. A signed detour will be in place.
• Lots of people will be headed across I-90 to Hoopfest in Spokane. Give yourself extra travel time to get there and get back, as there is ongoing roadwork along westbound I-90 between High Point and Issaquah, both directions of SR 18 near Tiger Mountain, and remember to plan for heavy westbound I-90 traffic on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. due to typical summer weekend travel.

Don’t forget you can always check on the latest traffic conditions and alerts on our real-time travel map on our website and in our mobile app.

It’s official Hwy 20 is now open.

Who takes this drive when the pass first opens?

For those who have not taken it when it first open its really cool, you get a good idea of how big the avalanche chutes are and how many there are.

Looks like Mother’s Day will be the day Hwy 20 opens.

Good Monday morning. This is National Work Zone Awareness Week. It's a week when agencies across the country highlight the need for everyone to do their part to keep road workers safe.

Wednesday is Go Orange Day, when we ask people to wear orange to show their support for highway worker safety. On Friday, there will be a moment of silence for those who have died in highway work zones. We hope that you will join us in participating. And even more important, we hope that you will continue to do your part to keep road workers safe, by always staying alert, giving road workers room, slowing down and being patient.

Heading east April 10th thru April 12th.??? Plan for your westbound return trip home to take longer.

A reminder that significant pavement/bridge deck repair starts on westbound I-90 between Preston and Issaquah at 10 a.m. Monday, April 10 and lasts through 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 12. During that time the highway will be down to one lane 24/7 about a mile west of the Preston interchange. A similar lane reduction, from 10 a.m. Monday, April 17 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, April, April 19, is also coming. During this work we'll repave one of several bridges scheduled this spring. We need two separate closures because we're repaving one side, and then the other. More closures will also come in May for work on other bridges. This will cause some significant congestion so please plan ahead, give yourself lots of extra time and be safe near work zones. Check the comments for more info.
