1. Im so glad our little town said they will enforce Inslees policies....

...we had one tiny demonstration started by a woman who has a local biz. I wont patronize any biz who takes part in these protests.

2. My family in Washingon,

eastern Jefferson County, are very glad that Inslee is governor. Age and medical factors make them high risk, so they very much appreciate his policies.
