Washington Democrats’ bold efforts to support Washingtonians during the pandemic have paid off —
our economy is stronger than any other state in the nation! And now, the state budget that we recently passed will provide essential support to continue our record of success.
We’re so excited to keep building up our state’s economy and want to hear from you: What part of our state budget is most important to your community?
Answer here!
The $59.2 billion, two-year budget includes:
