Washington states legislative session concluded with a mix of achievements and compromises. Lawmakers approved a new millionaires tax, balanced the budget through cuts and rainy day fund withdrawals, and passed bills on housing, food access, healthcare, and tax breaks. Republicans criticized the income tax, while Democrats secured most of their agenda, excluding a new ferry system. The nearly $80 billion budget avoids sales taxes on data center equipment and climate program funds for shortfalls, with Democrats attributing reductions to inflation, lawsuits, and federal cuts.
