Speak Up for Washington's Environment
By Laura Ackerman
This coming legislative session will be unlike any other. As the first all-remote legislative session, communication between constituents and their legislators will be both more accessible and more challenging. It's important for us to let our legislators know that a healthy climate, clean water and environmental justice are key to the kind of pandemic recovery and economic rebuilding we need to see in Washington state.

Washington Can't Wait on Climate Change & Affordable Housing
Maia and Maggie love Spokane, especially the beautiful, natural environment and the numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The most recent data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and its state partners show an estimated 4,400 wolves inhabit the western Great Lakes states, but only 108 wolves in Washington State, 158 in Oregon, and a scant 15 in California. These numbers lay the groundwork for a legal challenge planned by The Lands Council and a coalition of Western conservation groups.
