Washingtonians now have more stable housing, neighborhoods, and families because we just banned predatory rent gouging. In 20 years we’ll have stories like this one too thanks to the hard work of @wahousingalliance.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/r...

NEW LEVEL ACHIEVED! With the Governor’s signature a few moments ago, WA renters now have legal protections from rent gouging. A million children, veterans, seniors and workers staying in their homes longer, avoiding displacement and homelessness? That’s a big level up for WA.
