Fast, traffic-free, affordable transportation infrastructure is going to pay dividends for generations to come. We fought for over $1 billion in federal investment in this project – and despite the first Trump administration’s obstruction, we got it done.
Hello, South King County! The ribbon has been cut, the confetti has flown, and three new Link light rail stations are open for travel. The celebration isn’t over. Follow for more at Federal Way Downtown, Star Lake and Kent Des Moines stations🎉 #1Line #SoundTransit #SouthKingLink
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—often called "America’s Serengeti"—is one of the largest untouched ecosystems on our planet. I spoke on the Senate floor against efforts to overturn ANWR’s land management plan and allow oil and gas drilling in these pristine public lands.
Trump’s trade wars also risk hurting Washington ports that ship almost $20 billion worth of U.S. agricultural exports per year. Plus, Trump’s tariffs continue to harm American consumers, manufacturers, and small businesses, who keep paying the costs without relief. (2/2)
Washington state produces amazing agricultural products that the whole world wants to buy, but Trump’s tariff chaos is sabotaging decades of hard work winning overseas shelf space. Washington farmers don’t want a meager bailout, they want to be able to export their goods across the globe. (1/2)
President Trump is proposing a $12 billion farm aid package, a White House official says, as the sector grapples with China tariffs. This post replaces an earlier one that incorrectly attributed the connection to tariffs to the official.
Today we honor the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor. On this 84th anniversary, we are reminded that we must never take the sacrifices of those who serve for granted.

I urge NOAA to immediately restore funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, an important partner for real-time seismic data used in tsunami warnings.   I am deeply concerned that NOAA's cancellation of this grant poses risks to Washington and the entire West Coast. My letter ⬇️
Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday, a chance to celebrate the millions of small business owners who keep our communities strong and create local jobs. I encourage all Washingtonians to #ShopSmall and show support for their favorite local businesses.

In 2023, Canadians spent $18 million on Washington state wine. Today, U.S. wine exports to Canada are down 90%. The Washington State Wine Commission explains how Trump's tariffs are putting Washington's family farms at risk.
There is no way to express how important Mark Mellman was to me and my organization. I simply couldn't have been as successful without him. My condolences to his family, friends, coworkers and the many people Mark touched in his life. (4/4)
There was nobody like him on the precision of the numbers. He was always on the money. Mark also helped many environmental organizations come up with the right strategies to win big fights. And he was a great friend and advocate of Israel. (3/4)
Mark told me on election night in 2000 that I would win a Senate seat, which eventually helped flip control of the U.S. Senate. He said on election night I would win but it would be very very very close. He was right— three weeks later I was declared the winner by just over 2,200 votes. (2/4)
The CEO of a small manufacturer in Everett says that tariff uncertainty is hurting his business and his customers. “Just as we think we've got it understood, then we get a 10% additional tariff because of a TV commercial.”
