Ferries & Workforce: Gov. Bob Ferguson has pledged to address engine-room crew pay gaps after staffing shortages disrupted Washington State Ferries.

Wildfire Readiness: Spokane Valley council members will review mitigation work, emergency planning and resident resources, as comments remain open on draft state wildfire hazard maps through Nov. 1. Election 2026: Washington Supreme Court races are heating up, while the rematch between U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican state Sen. John Braun could help decide control of Congress. Ballot Measures: Initiative 638, which would set statewide rules for girls’ sports, has drawn sharply opposing arguments over fairness, transgender students’ rights and sex-verification requirements. Taxes: The state’s new millionaires tax is fueling debate over budget needs and concerns that the measure could reach beyond high earners.
