Photo of Gov at press conference with text: Governor Ferguson announces state support for rebuilding from firesThe Governor is urging the Washington State Building Code Council to allow homeowners the option to rebuild their home to an earlier version of the energy code.The Governor will propose legislation offering sales and use tax rebates for costs related to rebuilding after a declared disaster. As very rough example, if a homeowner spends $400,000 rebuilding in Spokane, they could qualify for a rebate of approximately $36,000.New amendment to emergency proclamation:
Directs the Department of Ecology to temporarily grant permit exemptions for debris piles
Waives the state fee on building permits in affected counties
Gives the Public Works Board discretion to provide additional funding for emergency-related projects

As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month, we reaffirm our commitment to our state's values. Washington state is home to over a million Hispanic and Latino residents. Several counties in our state have majority Hispanic populations.
WHEREAS, Hispanic and Latine people represent a vibrant and thriving part of the
diverse community that makes up the face of Washington state, and their histories and cultures
stretch across centuries; and
WHEREAS, the contributions of Hispanic and Latine people who are from the United
States and those who come to our shores today in search of their dreams continue to add new
chapters in our state's story; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic and Latine people serve honorably in our Armed Forces,
defending the values we hold dear; transform industries with new, innovative ideas; are elected
officials, public servants, essential workers, agriculture workers, teachers, and leaders; and have
led and inspired movements that have made our state more equal and just; and
WHEREAS, many Latin Americans trace their roots to the cultures of the indigenous
peoples of the Americas, including the Arawaks, Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Tainos; the Spanish;
or to Africans who were enslaved and built our country; and
WHEREAS, the Hispanic community now represents 13.74 percent of Washingtonians,
and three counties in our state, Yakima, Franklin and Adams, have majority Hispanic
populations; and
WHEREAS, during Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the rich heritage of the Hispanic
and Latine community and celebrate its countless achievements;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Bob Ferguson, governor of the state of Washington, do hereby
proclaim September 15-October 15, 2026, as
Hispanic Heritage Month
in Washington, and I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all Americans to
observe this month with appropriate ceremonies, activities and programs.

The claim that pediatricians vaccinate children for profit is not only false—the economics are often the opposite. They vaccinate because they’ve devoted their careers to protecting children Turning that commitment into an accusation of profiteering is an especially vile lie.
