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.
