Inslee delivers State of the State: “Bold actions for building a stronger Washington”

WASHINGTON, January 12 - Story 

As the new new legislative session begins, Gov. Jay Inslee delivered his 2023 State of the State speech on Jan. 10, 2023 at a joint session of the House and Senate. This is the first in-person session since 2020, and is among the most diverse legislatures in state history, including a “younger and more diverse” class of legislators and record number of women.

Though several difficult issues are on deck for the 105-day session, the mood among legislators and visitors has been palpably upbeat and hopeful following renewed activity at the Capitol.
