July 6, 2017 the Honorable Jay Inslee Office of the Governor PO Box
Dow Constantine King County Executive 401 Fifth Avenue, Suite 800 Seattle, WA 98104 206-296-9600 Fax 206-296-0194 TTY Relay: 711 www.kingcounty.gov July 6, 2017 The Honorable Jay Inslee Office of the Governor PO Box 40002 Olympia, WA 98504-0002 RE: SSB 5977 Part VI – Providing Sales and Use Tax Exemptions to Encourage Coal-Fired Generation Plants to Convert to Natural Gas-Fired Plants of Biomass Energy Facilities Dear Governor Inslee: I am writing on behalf of the 2.1 million Washington State residents living in King County to request that you veto Part VI of SSB 5977 which eliminates state and local taxes for the conversion of TransAlta Corporation’s coal-fired plant in Centralia to a fossil fuel gas-fired or biomass fueled plant. The incentive to convert the TransAlta plant to a natural gas-fired plant is a giant step backwards for our state and for confronting climate change. It was a hard-fought consensus agreement in 2011 between TransAlta, environmental and labor groups, the state Legislature, and former Governor Christine Gregoire that developed an agreement to close the plant and invest $55 million in the community to support education and retraining, efficiency, and economic development. King County strongly supports a just transition for the existing coal plant workers to new job opportunities, an important part of the existing agreement. Confronting climate change and accelerating a transition to a clean energy economy with family wage jobs is a top priority for King County. Through the Growth Management Planning Council, 39 cities and King County have established shared, formal targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050.

Local Voters' Pamphlet
Primary Local Voters’ Pamphlet – August 7, 2018 Dear Voter: This year we are happy to tell you of three changes we think will make voting even easier for you. 1: The Pamphlet is mailed earlier: Around July 20, 2018, you should receive your ballot for the August 7 Primary. We mailed this Local Voters’ Pamphlet in advance of that date to give you time to read the candidate statements well before you vote. That extra time is especially important during the summer months, when many of us have travel plans. 2: Convenient locations: We now have ballot drop boxes in every corner of the county. Ballot drop boxes allow voters to easily return ballots in secure locations dedicated to elections. Ballots are retrieved by elections workers hired by the county and returned directly to the Auditor’s Office. This year we will have 22 drop boxes, an increase of 15 in just three years. To find the location closest to you, refer to the list on page 3 of this pamphlet. 3: Free postage: If you prefer mailing your ballot, this year you don’t have to put a stamp on the envelope. Thanks to funding provided by the state for this year’s elections, voters in all 39 counties will be able to return their ballots without paying for postage. Because Washington is a Top 2 Primary state, your vote will help decide which two candidates in each race will appear on the November ballot. In addition to the 29 candidates for U.S. Senate, there are primary races for the U.S.
