As you consider any additional COVID-19 economic relief packages, we, the undersigned elected leaders of Washington State, write to respectfully request significant investments in and attention to the challenges facing child care. Here in Washington State and across the country, the child care industry is providing critical services enabling medical professionals, first responders, and other essential workers to provide for communities in our time of greatest need. And yet, the infrastructure of this critical system is crumbling in front of us and threatening our ability to recover from COVID-19 now and in the future. According to Child Care Aware of Washington, our state has already lost 143 child care centers, 105 family child care homes, and 19 school-age-only child care programs to COVID-19 related closures -- totaling a loss of 12,000 child care slots.

  • Week 9 Report
    WEEK 9 REPORT ON 2021 SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE & WEEK 10 HEARINGS LIST For WRPA President, Executive Board, Executive Director, Legislative Committee Doug Levy – 3/15/2021 A major cutoff deadline – passed. A pivotal revenue forecast update – drawing closer. A federal bill providing major budget relief to Washington State – done. A further reopening of Washington State’s economy and core institutions – coming soon. That sounds some of the key notes for Week 9. The major cutoff was last Tuesday’s deadline for Senate bills to move off the Senate Floor and for House bills to move off the House Floor. Those that cleared the gauntlet now make their way to the “opposite chamber” for hearings and deliberation over the next two weeks. Those that did not are likely “dead” for the 2021 Session unless they are linked to budgets or can be amended onto still-alive bills. We are told the Senate and House ended up passing about 200 bills apiece off the Floor. While our attention has been hyper-focused on bills, the Operating, Capital, and Transportation budgets will move closer to the spotlight after the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council presents an update this coming Wednesday morning. We are told that for Operating Budget purposes, the Legislature is likely to have some $600 million in additional revenue to work with – if not more. The Legislature’s budget-balancing work got decidedly easier last Wednesday, when the U.S. House approved along party-lines the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (H.R. 1319). The rescue plan will provide Washington State with an infusion of $4.25 billion in COVID-19 relief funds – and the figure for all units of government tops $7 billion (including $1.4 billion for counties and $1.1 billion for cities).
