AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Recall: A new poll shows Wilson’s approval sliding fast, with public safety driving the drop, as a recall hearing date nears. Seattle Public Safety & Transit: Wilson defended her bus-lane push on Denny Way while critics question whether the city is prioritizing the right fixes. Ballot Fight in Olympia: Washington’s Supreme Court cleared the way for a recall petition targeting Port of Benton commissioners to move forward. Labor & Courts: The 9th Circuit backed the NLRB in a Seattle marine terminal work dispute, limiting a union “work-preservation” defense. Housing & Permits: Seattle is scaling back the Pike Place Market pedestrian zone for fall and winter, and cities across the state keep turning to AI to speed housing permitting. Legal/Policy Accuracy: Records show Gov. Ferguson’s office delayed a correction to major climate data calculations under the Climate Commitment Act. Workplace & Consumer Law: Costco asked a judge to reconsider a ruling in a Washington wage-and-hours dispute tied to moonlighting. Local Crime: Automated license plate readers helped nab a Kent child-predator suspect. Culture War in Sports: A Seattle Times columnist resigned after editors spiked a column tied to the Sophie Cunningham trans-athlete debate. State Politics Watch: A court fight over ballot language for Initiative 645 (repealing the high-earner income tax) continues.
