Lawmakers prepare for first in-person session since 2020
OLYMPIA — Washington’s 147 citizen legislators return to the state Capitol on Monday for the 2023 session.
Their return is kind of a big deal.
Most everything got transacted virtually the past two years. Only in the final days of last session did the House and Senate allow a limited number of masked lawmakers to participate from their regular seats on the floor.
Working remotely certainly didn’t slow lawmakers. They churned out hundreds of bills in the past two years.
