Washington State attractions:
- Goat Rocks wilderness
- North Cascades Highway/Wilderness
- Beach #4 on the Washington State Coast
- Deception Pass
Issues facing Washington:
- Mental health & chemical dependency epidemic
- Tax & revenue disparities – WA has the most regressive tax system in the country
- Declining city/state partnership and what that means for our communities
- Economic development disparities. The Puget Sound region is booming (which brings its own set of challenges), but other areas have been left out of this boom.
Dinner guests:
Family and friends – I know it’s not four, but I want to spend my free time with the people who are most important to me.
