Funding for the Deschutes River Hatchery project was initiated in the 2013-2015 Capital Budget for preliminary site work, well development, pumps and piping. A $10 million investment this biennium will allow us to enter into the second phase of construction on this much needed hatchery in South Puget Sound. Recreational fishing is an important part of our economy. There are over 900,000 anglers in Washington who spend $1.2 billion annually and directly support 16,200 jobs. Recreational anglers are the single largest source of license fee and tax revenue to the Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Increasing recreational fishing opportunity in South Puget Sound supports local business and will generate more tax revenue to the State and to WDFW through increased license sales. Current salmon production on the Deschutes River is outdated and inefficient because of space constraints and limited infrastructure. As a result, fish must be reared outside the watershed at four offsite hatchery locations as far north as Everett.

  • May 6, 2015 2 May 6, 2015 the Honorable Mark Schoesler, Senate
    May 6, 2015 2 May 6, 2015 The Honorable Mark Schoesler, Senate Majority Leader The Honorable Frank Chopp, Speaker of the House The Honorable Sharon Nelson, Senate Democratic Leader The Honorable Pat Sullivan, House Majority Leader The Honorable Andy Hill, Ways & Means Chair The Honorable Dan Kristiansen, House Minority Leader The Honorable Jim Hargrove, Ways & Means Ranking Member The Honorable Ross Hunter, Appropriations Chair The Honorable John Braun, Ways & Means Vice Chair The Honorable Bruce Chandler, Appropriations Ranking Member The Honorable Ann Rivers, Majority Whip The Honorable Reuven Carlyle, Finance Chair The Honorable Mark Mullet, Democratic Assistant Whip The Honorable Eileen Cody, Health Care & Wellness Chair Dear Legislators; On behalf of Washington’s 281 cities, we are writing to urge your quick action on HB 2136. This proposal includes numerous important provisions that will provide greater clarity to cities and assist the State’s emerging legal marijuana market. In particular, cities ask for your assistance with the following provisions in the bill: • Local Flexibility: Cities support the provisions in Section 301 for local flexibility to adjust the 1,000 foot buffer between retailers and certain sensitive uses. This flexibility will help cities better site business, while still meeting the public safety needs for their communities. • Opposition to pre-emption: Cities strongly oppose the inclusion of a public vote requirement prior to enacting a prohibition on marijuana businesses. This is a clear pre-emption of existing local regulatory authority. It is also inconsistent with the language of I-502 and at odds with recent court decisions and the state’s Attorney General Opinion.
