Lawmakers chew the fat with civic leaders in session warm-up
EVERETT — Funding transportation, addressing homelessness, expanding early learning and combating climate change are among the topics lawmakers predict will consume their attention in the upcoming legislative session.
That’s the message six delivered Friday to civic officials, community leaders and business owners at the 2020 legislative kick-off sponsored by Economic Alliance Snohomish County. The two-hour event drew roughly 120 people to the Jackson Center at Everett Community College.
The session begins Jan. 13 and is slated to last 60 days.
One task will be adopting supplements to the two-year operating, capital and transportation budgets that lawmakers passed and Gov. Jay Inslee signed last year.
