AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoGun Violence & Homelessness: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson rolled out a new gun-violence plan that shifts more coordination to the city’s CARE unit (linking community violence intervention groups to 911 dispatch) and pairs it with youth and mental-health supports, while also walking back her shelter promise—citing a $175M budget deficit and reframing “indoor shelter for all” as an aspirational goal. Immigration Legal Fight: Seattle and King County are named in lawsuits challenging a Trump “public charge” rule that would make it harder for immigrants to get green cards or visas if they used public benefits; the push is framed as “cruel and unlawful” and already drawing multiple state and city plaintiffs. Abortion Coverage Win: The 9th Circuit let Washington keep requiring maternity plans to include abortion coverage, rejecting a Kirkland church’s challenge. State Politics/Policy: Washington’s Secretary of State Steve Hobbs pitched video games as “soft power” at PAX West, arguing the industry can shape international influence. Local Appointments: Mercer Island’s Susan Loosmore was appointed to the Washington State Major League Baseball Stadium Public Facilities District board overseeing T-Mobile Park.
