100% agree with money not going where it should. Between the military and the politicians getting rich off of the corruption it's completely unacceptable and not something I can support.

It’s supposed to be crowd funding for supplying community food and services, but you’re right, too much of our money goes towards an inflated military budget.

Secondhand Rose in Lacey. Bonus points if Vans Burger is open just down the road.

No churches testified against it, the Catholic Church actually supported it

WA voters, you can send a quick comment in support of these bills to your state representatives at these links:

• House Bill 1098
• Senate Bill 5280

It just got amended in Committee to remove that exemption.

So, if you can show that it needing work lowers the car's value, then the taxes will be less?

I don't trust either one. Why do you insist upon stealing from others and using government to manipulate others to the will of corrupt politicians?

So you’d trust a bunch of billionaire ceos over elected officials. Got it

/r/pastorarrested tells me many clergy would need to plead the 5th if this were law.

Corporations are a creation of the state, but there's no reason businesses can't join together and maintain roadways. The transportation industry can take over most roadways and maintain them in order to move their goods. The same people that actually build and maintain the roads now can still build and maintain the roads. The price of maintaining the roads will be passed on to the consumer equally and without corrupt government. No theft, no coercion, is necessary for a peaceful and voluntary society.

Snohomish is probably your very best bet if you want to spend a full day looking around. It's a lot of good shops in a small area.

They have a lot of good food options too. We normally go to Christie's Sandwich board, but I've heard the Repp is the best there is.

The Thai place is also really good.

Monroe has a couple good stores

Leavenworth in my opinion is just a tourist trap. It's fun to walk around during the day.

Winthrop is another fun trip, it's got more stores than Leavenworth, and better food

La Conner doesn't have a ton of "antique shops" really anymore. It's fun to walk and get the best fish and chips at La Conner Tavern

Port Townsend is a good option too. They don't have as many as they used to. We just park in Coupeville and do the walk on ferry.

Estate sales might be good option too. You might find antiques and vintage a bit cheaper

> some 120 proposed bills amending mandatory reporter laws failed due in part to resistance from the Roman Catholic Church, the Mormon church and Jehovah’s Witnesses

What a joke. Of course a bunch of kid diddlers don’t want any rules that require them to report kid diddling, they’d lose far too many people.

That is one weird ass bridge. Lots of walking and steep inclines. Tbh, I liked the train better.

Kalama, also Centralia. Both have McMenamins hotels and some decent independent hotels if you want to make a weekend out of it. Centralia also has a train station if you want to go full on romantic.

Check out Black Diamond Antiques. There’s also a cute lil restaurant/bakery a few doors down and they have an outside patio that has an amazing view of Ranier when it’s clear.

Port Townsend has a few cool antique shops. And it's a nice drive.

Go to Oregon, tons of small shops along the coast

I am local to Longview and I went to this school during this time period. There were numerous other instances that occured school that was odd. My English teacher had a relationship with a male assistant that was also barely legal during this time, and I know for a fact there was another teacher that would touch girls on the shoulder, back, lower back, make comments about how pretty they are, etc.

Longview turns their back on issues like this just to avoid complications and issues and unfortunately I can see nothing ever happening in the long run to Reece.

How is this not a law already?!?

The churches will come out in force against this, like they did when they fought for the right to lie to pregnant women through pregnancy centers. (They won, btw.)

Why does this need to be a bill? Do the right thing.
