More than 40 top high school students from across Clark County sat down with 20-plus welding and fabrication businesses at Hudson's Bay High School's Endeavour Technical Trades Center.

Vancouver's Jonathan Hines argues that the WA Supreme Court's ruling blocking a referendum on the Millionaire's Tax — Senate Bill 6346 — leaves the 2026 ballot as the primary tool of civic influence in Washington State. With candidate filing open now, Hines calls on voters to treat this off-year election as anything but ordinary. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-a-wake-up-call-for-the-washington-voter/ #Opinion #WashingtonState #ClarkCounty #2026Election #MillionairesTax #SB6346 #VoterEngagement #Olympia #CivicDuty

Washington teachers spend an average of $1,041 a year on classroom supplies out of pocket — 11th highest in the nation. Vicki Murray of the Washington Policy Center argues a new federal tax-credit scholarship could change that, but only if Gov. Ferguson opts in before January 1, 2027. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-how-the-federal-tax-credit-scholarship-could-help-washington-state-teachers/ #Opinion #WashingtonState #K12Education #TeacherAppreciation #SchoolChoice #EducationPolicy #FederalTaxCredit #PublicSchools #ClarkCounty #WashingtonPolicyCenter

Twenty-nine governors have opted in to the Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit program — including a Democrat — but Gov. Ferguson has ignored two requests for comment. Meg Goudy and Peter Murphy of Mountain States Policy Center argue Washington families stand to lose $723 million or more in private K-12 education funding if Ferguson stays silent. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-governor-ferguson-can-still-put-k-12-students-and-families-first/ #Opinion #WashingtonState #K12Education #SchoolChoice #EducationFunding #GovernorFerguson #MountainStatesPolicy #FederalTaxCredit #PublicEducation #WEA

The U.S. Supreme Court granted an administrative stay on Fifth Circuit rulings that would have heavily restricted mifepristone access, keeping the status quo in place until at least May 11, 2026.

Deputy Commissioner Walter Burton declined the state's emergency motion to unblock SB 5974, keeping a Thurston County judge's preliminary ruling in place as sheriffs in 35 of Washington's 39 counties file to run for election.
