AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Capitol “Sunshine” Upgrade: Washington is spending about $8.6M to restore skylights in the state House and Senate chambers, with work starting in June and finishing by December—aimed at bringing back natural light after decades of electric-only lighting. Fish & Wildlife Payment Shift: Starting June 11, WDFW will stop accepting cash for license purchases at its offices, moving hunters and anglers to card or check as the state phases out pennies. Hanford Cleanup Milestone: At Hanford’s Waste Treatment Plant, crews have vitrified 100,000+ gallons of tank waste into glass, a major step in the long-running cleanup effort. Local Governance: Seattle’s City Council is set to vote on temporarily expanding shelter capacity—raising limits from 100 to 150 people per site, with one site per district capped at 250. Climate/Policy Watch: Lawmakers are also moving on EV fees, while environmental groups warn changes could reshape clean-energy momentum. Marine Life Moment: Low tides are exposing western Washington’s tide pools and marine habitats again, drawing beachgoers to see what’s usually underwater.
