Mary Yu is retiring from the Washington Supreme Court.
Justice Yu is a historic figure in our state and a trailblazer in many ways. I've also spoken to many attorneys who call Justice Yu a mentor, the greatest compliment of all.
Washington state is thankful for your service.

It was my privilege today to appoint Colleen Melody to the Washington Supreme Court.
When I was Attorney General, I established a Civil Rights Division. Colleen agreed to come and build it from the ground up. Now, by any fair measure, it's the best civil rights division in any AGO in the country.

Visited the site of the Olympic Pipeline leak yesterday. I met with the people working hard to dig out the pipe, find the leak and repair it. The emergency proclamation I issued last week is working as expected to increase fuel deliveries to SeaTac Airport and minimize impacts to travelers.

The president is clearly unwell. As an American, I find it hard to believe that our president speaks in this way.

We are in close communication with our state and federal partners on the Olympic Pipeline shutdown.
This emergency declaration will help Sea-Tac Airport maintain its fuel supply while the pipeline is offline and limit disruptions to travelers.

I’m proud to recognize Native American Heritage Month, leading up to Native American Heritage Day on November 29th.
29 federally recognized Tribes and out-of-state Tribes with treaty reserved rights have inhabited what is currently known as Washington state, since time immemorial.

I committed to funding Planned Parenthood in Washington state after a cruel attack on reproductive rights from the MAGA Congress and Donald Trump.
While we have a challenging budget, we are upholding our values and ensuring that women can access critical health care.

I’m from a family of veterans. My dad was a Navy veteran. Both my grandfathers and many of my uncles served. Our state is home to almost 500,000 veterans who exemplify the best of our state.
Thank you for your service.

It was an honor to help celebrate Lenny at the unveiling of his statue at Climate Pledge Arena this summer. He was a giant in Seattle sports, but cared even more about giving back to the community.

I recently signed an executive order kicking off a campaign to increase FAFSA completion rates.
Today, our advisory board, which includes college and high school students, had its first meeting.
Far too many students don’t fill out the form. We're going to change that.

Great to see construction on the new 350-bed forensic hospital at Western State this week. Single rooms, more capacity, moving us toward federal certification, and huge for us on many levels.
We must have treatment that matches the scale of the behavioral health crisis.

As Attorney General, I adopted a Tribal consultation policy to ensure we sought consent before starting a project that could affect Tribes.
I signed an executive order adopting a similar process for our state agencies.
Tribal consultation must be more than checking a box.
