Time Isn’t Real Croosh<p>Kinda sad HB 1017, the Kimchi Day bill, didn’t make it out of the House last week. It’s always nice to have “good little bills” to root for during the legislative session. <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/waleg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waleg</span></a></p>
Rachael Ludwick<p>Anyway I'm going to get off social to go do <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/waleg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waleg</span></a> work. If you want to take action in the state of Washington, sign up for 350 WA's Civic Action Team: <a href="https://www.350wa.org/cat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">350wa.org/cat</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Twice weekly email alerts. Or look at Take Action Network &amp; search for 350 WA: <a href="https://www.takeaction.network/xactions/action_page" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">takeaction.network/xactions/ac</span><span class="invisible">tion_page</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/waleg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waleg</span></a></p>

Rachael Ludwick<p>But good news for the night:</p><p>- 1217, the rent stabilization bill, passed the House!<br>- 1576, to not allow buildings to be designated as landmarks without owner consent, has also passed the House. Seattle allows this currently and it has blocked or delayed probably hundreds if not many thousands of homes over the years.</p><p><a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/waleg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waleg</span></a></p>
