Pay freeze for Inslee, lawmakers this year; pay hike in 2022
OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee will not get a raise this year. Neither will state lawmakers, Supreme Court justices or statewide executives like the attorney general and secretary of state.
In 2022 they will.
A citizen salary-setting panel voted Wednesday to forgo pay hikes this July for the state’s executive, legislative and judicial branches due to continuing economic uncertainty wrought by the pandemic.
Then the independent commission approved a 1.75% wage hike effective July 1, 2022, for all positions in the three branches of government.
