Governor Jay Inslee announced the vaccine mandate for state employees will stay alongside the state of emergency Washington is currently under during a“We think that makes sense to save people. It’s just such a heartbreak when you lose a good state employee. I just felt it was the right thing as a manager to keep a safe workplace and keep people safe,” Inslee said at his press conference. “So that will be retained after the declaration of emergency leaves.
Inslee’s speech came a few days after the official launch of the 988 program, a nationwide initiative with a grand plan to build a hotline that will eventually connect to a robust behavioral health system and provide next-day crisis appointments and support families with resources and treatment options.
His conference also provided an update on the ongoing homeless crisis throughout the state, and the numerous plans to address it both short and long term. Inslee also took aim at local zoning restrictions that prevent the construction of housing such as duplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and courtyard apartments in many neighborhoods, including in parts of Seattle.“We have zoning laws in our state that make it impossible for us to build enough housing for people and what do you get, you get a housing and homelessness crisis. So we’re going to be working with folks in legislature, we’re going to have some meetings with the Washington State cities.
