Here in WA, we're privileged to live in a state that prioritizes free, fair and ready access to the ballot. So today, do our state and our country proud by voting! You have until 8 p.m. tonight so just head to sos.wa.gov/elections to find a ballot drop box near you.

25 years ago, firefighters and first responders ran toward the flames to save as many lives as they could when the World Trade Center towers collapsed and our world changed forever.

The weather may be a bit cooler this weekend, but our forests are still unbelievably dry. It’s up to all of us to help the thousands of firefighters on the landscape now by being vigilant about doing anything that might spark the next wildfire.
