On January 4, approximately 500 individuals who had worked with Governor Jay Inslee, on his campaigns or in his roles as State Representative, Congressman, or Governor, gathered to recognize and celebrate his 12 years of leadership. WR’s Seattle lobbyist, John Engber, who worked on the Governor’s 1996 gubernatorial race, attended the event.
The centerpiece of the evening was an hourlong film reflecting on the challenges and achievements of the Inslee Administration. The film highlighted key moments such as the state’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the state action following the I-5 bridge collapse in Skagit County, and the devastating Oso landslide that claimed 43 lives. It also underscored the Governor’s climate change policies, a cornerstone of his three terms in office. Governor Inslee expressed his intention to stay engaged in the fight against climate change after he leaves office.
