AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Elections & Courts: Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and a coalition of states sued the U.S. Postal Service over new vote-by-mail rules, arguing the USPS can’t impose voter-list and envelope-design requirements that could raise costs and risk disenfranchisement ahead of November. State Government: Washington joined a broader lawsuit seeking to pause the USPS changes, with Secretary of State Steve Hobbs warning there’s no realistic way to meet the tight timeline for overseas and other voters. Public Safety & Seattle Politics: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson launched the search for a new police chief, naming retired Justice Mary Yu and attorney Ian Warner to co-chair a community-involved advisory committee with a target selection by early 2027. Mail-in Voting Fight: The dispute follows a Supreme Court move that cleared the way for the USPS order to proceed, setting up another fast legal showdown. Wildfire Aftermath: Spokane City Council approved extending sharply reduced demolition fees for buildings damaged in the Spokane Complex fires while the city explores more rebuilding-cost reforms. Environment: Ecology accused Spokane, Spokane County, and Spokane International Airport of not complying with PFAS cleanup orders, demanding a revised action plan by Friday. Trade & Jobs: Canada’s new tariffs on U.S. exports could hit major Washington industries, including seafood, as both sides escalate a trade war.
