I was pleased to join a panel discussion with @cleanandprosperous.bsky.social last week on how we can accelerate the shift to clean energy. We’re on the right path, and we need to pick up the pace so we are ready for the challenges ahead.

Yesterday I joined @governorferguson.bsky.social, @markoliias.bsky.social, and others to celebrate the launch a new sustainable aviation accelerator. This is a big step toward decarbonizing air travel and continuing our region’s global leadership in aerospace.

Thanks to the steadfast leadership of @murray.senate.gov and strong support from the entire Washington delegation, this week the House passed a budget package that includes record funding for the cleanup mission at the Hanford nuclear site.

You can erase the science, but you can’t erase what people are experiencing.

We're seeing the impacts of climate change happening now — flooding, extreme heat and drought — and they can't be ignored. That's why we continue to make real climate science a priority in Washington.

Our spill responders are on-call 24/7 to protect WA's environment. Last weekend, I visited the site of the Olympic Pipeline leak to meet with our Ecology team and other responders. I’m grateful for their quick response and careful monitoring to minimize environmental impacts as the leak is repaired.

Earlier this week, I joined a #ClimateWeekNewYork fireside chat with Secretary Yana Garcia of @californiaepa.bsky.social and Drew Kodjak of @theicct.org to talk about the question we’ve all been asking:

How do we keep increasing clean vehicle adoption in this federal environment?

Proud to stand with @usclimate.bsky.social at #ClimateWeekNYC and deliver on a powerful promise: when states lead, the nation moves.

Thank you Washington Association of Sewer & Water Districts and Executive Director Clark Halvorson for inviting me to your conference. Our state’s 180+ water and sewer districts are important partners for Ecology – they serve about ¼ of the state’s water and wastewater needs.

Congrats, @airresources.bsky.social, on successfully extending your Cap-and-Trade program! We’re excited to see the West Coast continuing to lead our nation on climate action.

East Selah, thank you for talking with me Monday evening about your experiences with PFAS contamination. I heard the shared frustration in the room. We are still advocating for clean drinking water and a full cleanup response from the Army to get you the answers (and solutions) you have waited for.

We’re continuing to work toward the start of cleanup activities like turning nuclear tank waste into glass and transferring cesium and strontium capsules to safer dry storage.

I had the pleasure of visiting Tri-Cities to see first-hand the tremendous progress and challenges in the cleanup work at the Hanford Site. This visit gave me the invaluable chance to tour the site and to meet and hear from our team overseeing the cleanup work and groups engaged in Hanford issues.
