I just had the honor of signing HB 2158 into law, which advances two of my major proposals: it creates a statewide #freecollege program for eligible students and expands #CareerConnectWA learning. Thank you to Rep. Hansen and the many #waleg who championed this landmark bill. 
WA state is now ahead of the nation both in providing unprecedented access to the opportunity to get a college degree, certificate or apprenticeship qualification, and in creating innovative programs to connect students with work experience. #waleg

The #WashingtonCollegeGrant guarantees financial aid to more than 110,000 qualified students to attend college for free or at a discounted rate. Unlike other free college programs in the US, this program doesn’t come with lengthy fine print about who qualifies or doesn’t. #waleg
Today I am delivering my 2019 State of the State address to a joint session of the Washington State Senate and House of Representatives. I am calling on legislators to take Washington's progress to the next step. #waleg

And today, as we reflect on our 2018 successes, we look ahead to 2019 and offer a rallying cry to build this new and enduring chapter that is the profound story of Washington state. #waleg
As Washington’s leaders, we carry an obligation to never be satisfied with how far we’ve come. In 2019, we are again poised to be more and do more. Yes, we’ve accomplished much already. But all of it — everything we’ve done — brings us to a tipping point. #waleg
We are making wise and strategic investments in a deliberate plan to build a better future for Washington state.

We are making an unprecedented $1.1 billion investment to save our Southern Resident orcas. We are increasing habitat and water for salmon, reducing disturbance from vessels and working to remove toxic pollution from the water.
We also have to invest in schools. We are fully funding basic education, and we're working to restore the ability for local communities to invest in their schools. My budget supports students from early learning to college and careers through #CareerConnectWA. #waleg
One of the most interesting challenges facing governors today is how to prepare for changing economic and workforce trends. @NatlGovsAssoc #NGAInSantaFe
The global jobs landscape is changing with advances in technology, shifting demographics, labor mobility and evolving talent needs. These changes bring uncertainty and anxiety for many. We must make sure all our workers and communities have a place in the economy. #WeTheStates
An automated future that increases the impact and effectiveness of our workers instead of displacing them is a goal that every governor should work toward. #WeTheStates
