Once spring-run chinook salmon disappear, they are not likely to re-emerge, indicates genetic analysis of the revered wild fish in a study led by the University of California, Davis. Prompt conservation action could preserve spring-run chinook, as well as their evolutionary potential. The study illustrates that when human actions alter the characteristics, or phenotypes, of wild species, these changes can become irreversible. This can have long-term evolutionary consequences because natural phenotypic variation buffers species from...

• Democrat bill would penalize companies who are not using 100 percent renewable sources by 2045 • Republicans would create incentives to transition Democrats and Republicans both want to turn Washington into a clean energy state, but they just don’t agree on how to do it.

House Bill 1266, proposed by Representative Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, would...
For years, state and federal civil rights law has prohibited the targeting of individuals by law enforcement based on their look and appearance. But motorcyclists are not afforded any legal avenues under those anti-profiling laws. On Friday, bikers from across the state rolled into Olympia hoping to change that. They expressed support for House Bill 1152, which would prohibit a law enforcement officer or agency from engaging in motorcycle profiling and give bikers legal recourse if they are the brunt of profiling. Of the 34 people who signed...
Opioid overdose medication could become more readily available for K-12 schools and institutions of higher education in Washington state if a proposed bill passes. “Anyone can resuscitate someone with Narcan. It is incredibly easy,” said Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-Seattle. Narcan is the brand name of Naloxone, a type of nasal spray that treats opioid overdoses in an emergency situation. The medication can be purchased at most retail pharmacies without a prescription, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. House Bill 1039 is co-...
Despite a bus cancellation, a group of students from Kirkland’s Lake Washington High School made it to Olympia on Thursday to express support for a statewide ban on single-use plastic straws. The idea for Senate Bill 5077 was originally conceived in the students’ Advanced Placement Government class, taught by Michael Dawson. It was one of two bill ideas prime sponsor Sen. Patty Kuderer, D-Bellevue, agreed to work on and propose to the legislature this session. Effective July 1 Seattle banned food service businesses from providing dis...
College students enrolled in an institution of higher education in Washington state could receive compensation for their athletic services, should House Bill 1084 become law. The proposed bill is sponsored by Reps. Drew Stokesbary, R-Auburn and Jesse Young, R-Gig Harbor. “It has been famously remarked that states are laboratories of democracy,” said Stokesbary at a public hearing on Jan. 23. The Republican legislator believes HB 1084 would put the infamous quote to use. According to the bill, students could reserve the right to hire agents to...
The House public safety committee heard public testimony Tuesday on two bills that address the statute of limitations in certain felony sex offenses as well as another bill that would establish best practices for storing and processing of sexual assault kits. Both bills are sponsored by Mason County District 35 Rep. Dan Griffey, R-Allyn, who has been working for many years to get the statute of limitation changed for sex offences. House Bill 1231 would add child molestation in the first degree and rape of a child in the first degree to the list...
Differences in water usage best practices during a drought and homeowners’ association landscaping requirements are the target of new legislation. The goal of House Bill 1165, introduced by District 34 Rep. Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines, is to require HOAs’ landscaping guidelines to align with water conservation guidelines during a drought. Many HOAs or condominium associations have requirements on the type of landscaping allowed – which often excludes fire resistant or low-water plants. The bill would prohibit HOAs from fining residents for emplo...
