AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Wildfire Health & Care Access: CMS announced new Medicare flexibilities for Washington residents hit by major wildfires near Spokane County, including replacement of damaged medical equipment and waivers to keep providers operating. Storms & Heat Risk: Washington is bracing for its first August rain and weekend thunderstorms, with a more dangerous storm risk flagged for Eastern Washington. Airports & Community Impacts: Highline Public Schools urged the Port of Seattle to strengthen protections tied to Sea-Tac expansion—calling for sound insulation, better ventilation/air filtration, air-quality monitoring, and real community decision power. Water Stress: Spokane Riverkeeper reported parts of the Spokane River running dry again amid extreme heat, drier conditions, and wildfire impacts. Wildlife & Habitat: A new study finds cougars/pumas change how black-tailed deer use the landscape, helping reduce deer-vehicle collisions by steering deer away from roads. Agriculture & Climate Tech: Seattle ag startup Mafix raised $5.4M to scale silicon fertilizers that improve soil health and aim to remove CO2 via faster rock weathering. Outdoor Safety: Washington pet owners are warned about foxtail grass, whose barbed seeds can burrow into animals and trigger serious vet bills. Recreation & Education: Applications are open for the Cottonwood District Master Gardener program, pairing horticulture training with community service.
