||| FROM THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR JAY INSLEE |||
Gov. Jay Inslee issued an emergency proclamation today related to a series of severe autumn storms that occurred between Nov. 3 and Nov. 8 in Clallam, Cowlitz, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson, Lewis, Okanogan, Pierce, Skagit, Skamania, Snohomish, and Wahkiakum counties. These storms caused significant power outages, road damage, temporary road closures and detours, and extensive damage to public utilities and electrical power systems.
The Washington State Military Department has activated the State Emergency Operations Center to implement emergency response procedures, and is coordinating resources to support local officials in alleviating the immediate impacts. State agencies and departments are directed to utilize state resources in accordance with the Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and to do everything reasonably possible to assist affected political subdivisions in an effort to respond to and recover from the event.

In regards to the last part of your comment policy…. What are “protected classes”? Or if it’s easier, what are unprotected classes? Hoping for specific examples as I’m aware that the latter are classes that are unprotected and the prementioned are classes that are protected. Thank you.
WHY NOT FIX THE HOUSELESS PROBLEM IN THE STATE buying and renovating motels isn’t working I am 60 years old and my wife is 67 years old and we are on the streets with nothing everyone says they will help but guess what the state , county, and cities say we will help and when you ask sorry section 8 is closed the housing authority in the are isn’t taking anyone and the 211 system tell you the same places that say no
I’m disabled I have a small income but I’ve been trying to get help so I won’t be on the streets since my mom is selling her house she had asked me to move home and help her since she had gotten lung cancer she’s been battling it for five years now and gotten the house for her so she can sell it mind u the whole time I’ve been paying rent to her so I wasn’t s dead beat daughter and helping her fix her house for selling it so when I call the community resources they say sorry we’re out of funds don’t know what to tell u except call 211 but they don’t know what to do for u either our state is the highest tax and the highest rent we are higher then new York city atleast they get a state stimulus we don’t get anything here to help us since there pocketing our federal government money
I reference to your comment policy you state no “offensive terms that target protected classes.” Could you please give me an example of an unprotected class that I may use an offensive term to target
Inslee is such an authoritarian I wonder what his real purpose is for everything he says and does. I’m shocked that there is no mask requirement.
Glenn Jordan that was exactly what I was going to ask! I would assume someone in the “Protected Class” wrote that….
Until the borders are closed and the drug dealers are eliminated none of these programs will work, You need to cut the flowing of drugs into our Country then many programs will work, It is a easy fix, consult Trump and take his advise, If that is something you won’t do try this, Many Americans are dying because these drug dealers are so why are we shy about taking there lives, Any time a drug dealer is caught take his or her life. Once there gone you will be Abel to help the homeless, And how about turning the Police loose on these punks, take the cuffs of the Police and put them on the criminals. And if one of these punks get shot while committing a crime then that’s a win for the good guys.
What is a political subdivisions?
The problem with most of the homeless is drugs.
I will never believe that this country can not stop the drugs from coming into this country. Starting with succuring our southern boarder. I the president would
have every police department from the FBI, CIS, HOMRLAND SECURITY, ETC. focus on nothering except removing the drugs out of this country it would happen in a week.
This country finds the things we have to have to live like homes, medical, food, etc. and charges outrages prices for it all. Don’t get me started on the gretting dentist.
I going to be homeless soon if social security doesn’t kick in soon it seem like if you don’t do drugs or anything else in this state you can’t get help with rent what does everyone have to be a druggie
Wait a minute; I’m confused. I just read a short article about an emergency proclamation having to do with storm damage in certain counties; then I read the straightforward proclamation. What do any of these comments have to do with this? It is fairly common for governors to do these kinds of things when natural disasters hit.
Some of these comments are downright troubling if you follow the breadcrumbs to where they’re pointing. I would think that one protected class might be non white people, who’ve been the victims of genocide, slavery, land theft by we the white race… you know… stuff like that.
