Having a great time at the @arnoldventures.bsky.social Housing Master Class, connecting with bipartisan legislators from across the nation on policy — and not just because Jess Bateman is here! I *rarely* get a chance to attend this kind of PD so it’s a real treat. #housingforall

Today is one of my “legislative workdays” when I take leave from my regular job to spend all day doing legislative work! Spent the morning on a really interesting tour of @cunardline.bsky.social ‘s beautiful Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, learning all about their environmental systems #Seattle

Interim for me usually means lots of meetings and emails, but sometimes it’s also something super fun and cool! It was an honor to read the proclamation making today Sue Bird Day statewide and to watch the unveiling of Sue Bird’s statue at @climatepledgearena.com ! #Seattle #Storm #GOAT

Delighted to be here in the “Quad Cities” (shout out West Richland) for the Joint Transportation Committee meeting. Saw some awesome roundabouts today, which may not seem that exciting but they’ve lead to a major reduction in crashes across the area! #waleg

Unbelievable to be here at the celebration of life for Frank Chopp, a true giant of our era. If I served twice as long I couldn’t hope to do half as much for the people as Speaker Chopp. Gone too soon. #waleg

I got an email today from a lobbyist representing some of WA’s Black-led organizations asking members and the Governors office to kill the rent stabilization bill. This bill, while not perfect, is going to help millions so this is what I, a Black legislator, had to say #waleg #BlackSky

Happy Saturday! We are working this weekend and my new favorite thing to do whenever we get a break is go outside and sit on the Capital Steps and drink my coffee in the sun. #waleg

At 90 years old, she rose from her walker and danced at her grandson’s wedding. Her life was long and rich in love. And now it is ended, and we are left with our memories. May eternal light shine upon you, Lillie Pearl, my grandma.

She was born into a world where Black people had almost no legal protections. Her husband served in a segregated military. She lived to see a Black president of the United States. To see her children earn doctorates. To see me elected. To meet her great grandsons

She was raised by her grandmother in the Jim Crow south. She graduated from high school, married young, and migrated with her husband to Ohio. She had no desire to be buried in the South, and per her wishes she’ll be buried in Dayton, next to her sister, who she helped raise

She was no nonsense and did not suffer fools. She kept a house so clean you could eat off the floors. She was not a good cook. She believed in dressing well every time you left the house and in proper behavior from everyone. She loved Western movies, Motown music, and Jesus.

I had planned to attend the memorial service for Shawn Yim, the King County Metro driver who was killed recently — but then I found out my grandmother passed away today, so I had to pivot to family time. My Grandma was an incredible woman, born in Tuskegee, AL June 21 1930
