We heard from renters & landlords alike: Washington needed rent stabilization. We were pleased to see so many of them join House and Senate Democrats as the governor signed House Bill 1217. We still have work to do, but today we celebrate a big milestone for Washington renters. #rent #waleg

Rent Stabilization just took another step -- We have a compromise agreement with the Senate. The cap now is 7% + CPI but cannot go past 10%. Single family homes are not exempt. Next step: Approval in the two chambers on the conference report, then to the governor. tvw.org/video/confer... #waleg

This week, we mourn the loss of Sen. Bill Ramos, who served in the house for six years. Bill was a proud Latino, a tireless public servant and one of the kindest human beings you could ever meet.
