Turns out we were right not to let Amazon be the fourth branch of our government!
When Amazon 1st announced they would open a 2nd HQ outside of Seattle, the usual WA conservatives gloated that progressives making wealthy corporations pay what they owe in taxes had backfired.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact.
We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.

Katie Wilson has a personal understanding of the rising costs that are burdening working people in Seattle. What's more, her extensive experience fighting for change at City Hall means she has clear plans to fix this.
That's why editorial boards owned by wealthy conservatives are so afraid of her.
