    Legislative Building Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0600 January 25, 2021 The Honorable Governor Inslee PO Box 40002 Olympia, WA 98504 Dear Governor Inslee, We thank you for your service to our State. For the constituents and citizens of Pierce County, the passage of the Connecting Washington package offered the promise of accomplishing a 40-year dream—the completion of State Route 167. Yet, weeks before a key stage of the project was to go out to bid, you unilaterally decided to freeze it. We are writing to express our extreme disappointment and frustration with what we believe to be a short-sighted decision. We are confident you are fully aware that the Puget Sound Gateway package was the keystone project in Connecting Washington, drawing support for the overall package from over 165 business, labor, agriculture, maritime, and local government organizations from around the state. They all recognized the central importance this project plays in supporting the competitiveness of our ports and their labor partners, growers, shippers, and manufacturers who seek access to the global marketplace. In fact, you led the cutting of the ribbon to start this project. Delaying it threatens the state’s economic recovery, serves as a complete disregard to that coalition of project advocates, and does a disservice to all the working families that will benefit from this project. We are very disappointed in your decision. The last year has highlighted the importance of a well-functioning supply chain. While there has been a reduction in transportation revenue across many categories of funding because of remote work and social distancing, diesel tax revenue has remained relatively stable.
