I understand where you’re coming from because the idea is to give the lion’s share of the benefit to those that need it the most, but this is better achieved by making the benefit apply to all with no income cap and funding it with progressive taxes.

The bottom 20% of earners in Washington, who most need PFML, are taxed at 17.8% of their income while the top 1% statewide are taxed at 3%, which is obviously immoral.

The issue is not between the working class and the middle class, it’s between the 99% and a government that caters only to the rich. This article is just a wormy attempt to obfuscate that.

Ohhhh yeah. I read it wrong. Yeah Anacortes is fun. They've good food out there too. I love that old sandwich place Gere-deli.

Port Townsend we ate at a marina place and the salmon BLT was really good. There's a huge antique mall

I know food wasn't requested, but I normally go with my husband so I can get something to eat lol, so that's that I remember most

Great Junk Hunt will be at the Monroe fair grounds in a couple weeks. I think February 2nd. There's a lot of fun stuff there.

100% this. I grew up in the area but never visited Colchuck until moving back after college. I was shocked at the utter masses when I finally started hiking up there. They need to control the number of people up there or it will completely ruin the area.
