Signs expressed their concerns: "Keep money out of politics" "Climate change" "My body My choice", "Keep Fascists out of USA" "Love Trumps Hate" and perhaps what could be called the theme of the rally "We have a voice."

Ray said, "We have to stand strong in solidarity with each other to make it through the next four years. A lot of people right now feel like politics is 'too depressing' and that none of it matters, and that is the last thing they should be thinking. Now is the time for action to be taken."

We are a community that respects the Constitution and the bill of rights. We believe in the freedom of speech, the freedom to assemble, the freedom of conscience, and the freedom of the press. These are the hallmarks of a free and democratic society.
We will not compromise on these core values that we share. We will not tolerate erosions to our fundamental freedoms. We will not tolerate divisions based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, or religion.
We will continue to use our voice and support the voiceless.

First, the reason that the flickers have used the eaves is that the trees they need, their habitat, keeps shrinking.

“We now have a more complete picture of crude oil moving through Washington because we have information about all modes of transport – vessel, rail and pipeline,” said Dale Jensen, Spills program manager. “Today, emergency responders know ahead of time that crude oil is moving through their communities and can better prepare for potential spills.”

“We still have more work to do to enhance safety, but it’s nice to see the progress,” Jensen said.

To the Editor:
When moving to LFP nearly a dozen years ago, I had heard that the Shoreline School District was good. This was important since our son was a toddler and we expected to be a part of the public school community. What I didn't realize was how good the schools would be - and how much admiration and respect I would end up having for the District administration, staff and teachers. With an upcoming bond election on February 14th, it is critical that we continue to support our schools.
What makes Shoreline School District worthy of your vote?
- The level of communication from the District is outstanding, as is transparency on nearly every issue and decision, no matter how controversial.
- The Superintendent does an exceptional job of connecting with individual schools and values partnership with our PTAs.
- Schools are encouraged to keep their unique school culture and methods of delivering quality instruction, while the District keeps an eye on standards alignment.
- The School Board considers staffing/program additions, as the budget allows. We now have staffed Career Centers in both high schools, an Equity Director and a regularly updated curriculum.
- Nearly every student is taught by an educator who meets the definition of a Highly Qualified Teacher.
These things, of course, have nothing to do with buildings - and the February 14th vote will be for a construction bond. But quality school buildings help ensure that our facilities adequately support the needs of teachers and students and help provide the exceptional learning environment that Shoreline schools are known for.
Show your love for Shoreline schools and vote yes on the school bond!!

While education is constitutionally underfunded and children’s classrooms are overcrowded, the state offers hundreds of tax exemptions that account for hundreds of millions of dollars, with little to no review for most.
New legislation introduced by Rep. Gerry Pollet (D-46) and Sen. David Frockt (D-46) would increase tax exemption transparency and accountability by requiring tax loopholes be listed in a special budget, requiring a biennial vote just like the operating budget.
“It’s time we acknowledge that when we give a break to business, it costs our budget. Every tax loophole we pass must be reviewed regularly. Tax loopholes should not have a free pass to drain money from our budget without review. Accountability demands that we change this system” said Pollet.
