Tonight, Bothell City Council voted (4:1) to endorse SB 5233 and HB 1445: companion bills guaranteeing universal healthcare for all Washingtonians. These bills have been cosponsored by 27 Washington state legislators. Tell your city leaders to endorse both bills too!

My family has a tradition of holiday giving because “as [we] have been given much, [we] too must give.” The Giving Machines are a fun and interactive way to do that. This one is located at Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood WA. #LightTheWorld #PoorPeoplesCampaign
