Washingtonians have long supported transitioning off of coal power to clean sources of electricity. In WA state, we're making sure that transition brings opportunities that benefit local communities and does not leave people behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

While coal is becoming less economically viable, #cleanenergy is surging. Today, news broke that two coal plants that supply power to WA state will close ahead of schedule because they are no longer economically viable. https://t.co/QlmzI269lB — PolitiTweet.org

.@benioff has been an incredible force for good in California and around the world. He recognizes, like we do, that a well-supported workforce goes hand-in-hand with economic success. Congrats to @tableau, and welcome to an expanded @salesforce in WA state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Another WA company is going big! The purchase of @tableau by @benioff’s @salesforce and the creation of their second headquarters in WA will mean thousands of new jobs in our state. https://t.co/y6zThzkzof — PolitiTweet.org

We may not have Disney's theme parks or Broadway, but WA proves you can have the nation's best economy AND be fun. We ranked 4th most fun state for our music & entertainment, great food, scenic shorelines, unparalleled National Parks & outdoor recreation. https://t.co/SapEJZ9S0L — PolitiTweet.org

I also got to tour one of the two new 25-bed wards being built at Eastern State Hospital. These will provide competency restoration services for forensic patients. I appreciate the hospital's continued work in behavioral & mental health in Eastern WA. https://t.co/eobEJgkLLJ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I ended the day visiting Eastern State Hospital to discuss their plans for the $33 M slated to them for improvements in the 2019-21 capital budget. They're making much-needed updates to the building that will increase safety for all and give patients a better quality of care. https://t.co/O64L5DJ3P2 — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond bringing research & economic development to Spokane, the Catalyst building uses #cleanbuilding tech & materials. Eco features include this cross-laminated timber, rainwater recovery, gray water, showers for bike commuters & smart building tech for max energy efficiency. https://t.co/I87MaoUZn0 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

@WSUSpokane @WSUMedicine @WSUNews Today I took a virtual reality tour of the future Avista Catalyst Building, the first in Spokane University District's new innovation hub. The plans for this eco-friendly #cleanbuilding outline 150,000 sq. feet of @EWUeagles labs, office space, classrooms & study areas. https://t.co/gtfjQl08SC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Eastern WA needs more doctors. With this expansion, @WSUSpokane will be ready to train more Washingtonians to be top medical professionals. Students like Cassidy, @WSUMedicine class of 2022, will be the next generation of physicians bringing health care to more people in WA. https://t.co/FP6aGoohoK — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

.@WSUMedicine is already breaking barriers. 58 percent of their medical school students are women, and 25 percent are first-generation college students. That’s something to be proud of. Go Cougs! — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

WSU's number one wish for the 2019 #waleg session was for the funding to expand their medical school. Thanks especially to their local legislators Sen. Billing, Rep. Ormsby & Rep. @marcusriccelli, today we got to celebrate @WSUMedicine getting the $14.4 M they needed to grow. https://t.co/eq4r5DQZju — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

According to Frontier Behavioral Health, in the past year, Spokane’s police officer and mental health expert teams diverted 70 percent of the 973 people contacted away from jail, the ER or psychiatric impatient treatment and instead to the behavioral health services they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I then met w/ Spokane electeds, law enforcement & mental health leaders on their jail diversion efforts. By using new services, like pairing police and mental health experts & a new mental health crisis center, they’re successfully diverting people away from jail & to resources. https://t.co/dmnOKP7E4o — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today I got to tour Spokane’s WorkSource and the new Resource Center to learn about their efforts to connect members of their community with local workforce resources, as well as those for legal, housing, health care and justice. @WDCSpokane https://t.co/Ig9NyYykvi — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I’m in Spokane today to hear about all the innovation happening throughout the community. There’s a lot of good work to celebrate here. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I continue to stand with governors across the country in condemning these actions of the Trump administration — actions that are clearly intended to restrict states from ensuring the health and safety of our people. https://t.co/iDcz3WT6tV — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

WA state is currently reviewing the implications, but it is clear the Clean Water Act is now under direct and sustained attack by the federal government. We will not allow Trump or any president to illegally constrain our ability to protect Washingtonians’ right to clean water. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today @EPA released guidance that drastically harms WA's ability to regulate water quality permits. This was written without states or tribes and is the latest step in an assault from the Trump admin on states' rights to protect their waters & communities. https://t.co/jWdmyCwtS0 — PolitiTweet.org

Admission to state parks is free this weekend. I hope Washingtonians get out and enjoy the natural beauty and bounty of our state. @WAStatePks https://t.co/5SW10KsnOX — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

According to the US Department of Labor, 62 percent of full-time salaried workers nationally were eligible for overtime pay in 1975. Today, that number is less than 7 percent. @lniwa’s newly proposed rule would protect half of the salaried workers in WA. https://t.co/JAcz79eCY8 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Thank you @VigorIndustrial for picking WA as the site to construct a new landing craft vessel for the Army. This $1 B project will bring 130 great jobs to our region over the next decade. Today I got to thank Vigor CEO Frank Foti in person while discussing our maritime economy. https://t.co/p3wc0cQkla — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Today we honor and remember the brave men who stormed the beaches in Normandy 75 years ago. I first read the book "The Longest Day" when I was about 10 years old and was struck by the heroism and sacrifice of the D-Day invasion. May we long remember what they were fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm looking forward to joining @KUOWRadke today at noon for his @KUOW radio show The Record. We'll talk about @lniwa's new proposed overtime rules, our impressive 2019 #waleg session successes and much more. https://t.co/fIPTM3Lcrv — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

Two years ago, I joined @GovRaimondo in calling on Congress to protect #Dreamers once & for all. Glad to see the U.S. House pass the #DreamAct this week to support young people who, through grit & determination, are building a better future in the U.S. https://t.co/gwRy5GcQmr — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

I thank @lniwa for their work to update the system that will benefit hard-working Washingtonians and their families. I encourage people to participate in the process and share their stories and comments. https://t.co/Qh1pya3Bb3 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Jay Inslee @GovInslee

The erosion of this threshold over time has left too many workers behind. WA ranks as one of the top economies in the country while also being ranked as the best state for workers. We know a strong economy goes hand-in-hand with a strong and well-supported workforce. — PolitiTweet.org
