Last update: 4 hours ago

FAFSA Push in Olympia: Gov. Bob Ferguson wants high school graduation to require FAFSA (or a state equivalent opt-out), aiming to lift Washington’s low FAFSA completion rate and unlock state grant dollars. Food Assistance Under Pressure: SNAP enrollment dropped by 33,000 in Washington, with local food banks reporting more strain as federal work requirements and eligibility changes bite. Opioid Lawsuit in King County: Albertsons and Safeway face trial over alleged failures tied to Washington’s opioid epidemic, as the state argues the chains didn’t stop problematic prescriptions. Cybersecurity Risk from “Shadow AI”: A WatchGuard survey finds employees widely use unauthorized AI tools and risky habits like password reuse and public Wi-Fi, raising the stakes for small and mid-sized businesses. Housing/Commerce Staffing: Amy Buckler is set to join the state Department of Commerce as Housing Division assistant director, bringing local government experience to the agency’s homelessness and homeownership programs. Local Politics—District 39: A Republican incumbent faces two challengers in the Aug. 4 primary for the 39th District House seat. Port of Everett Investment: CEO Lisa Lefeber outlines more than $1 billion in planned waterfront, housing, and environmental cleanup work despite trade headwinds.
