Inslee directive bans state contracts with Russian government entities.

Link Source: https://www.governor.wa.gov/news-media/inslee-directive-bans-state-contracts-russian-government-entities

Gov. Jay Inslee today issued a directive to cabinet agencies that bans new contracts and investments with Russian state entities, and charges agencies with identifying and ultimately cutting existing contracts that may exist. The directive follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine that began Feb. 23.

"This invasion, which continues, has resulted in grievous loss of life among Ukrainian military personnel and civilians, and it has sparked an historic refugee crisis with global impacts—including for Washington state's large Ukrainian, Russian, and other Eastern European communities," Inslee wrote in the directive. "Virtually the entire world, including governments, businesses, and ordinary citizens, have united in condemnation of this unjust invasion, resulting in unprecedented economic sanctions upon Russian state institutions and leaders.

"As the world responds to this crisis with humanitarian and military aid, Washington State must also do its part in this common effort."

The directive targets any potential contracts or investments with Russian government agencies, or with companies that are, to any extent, Russian-state-owned, or with entities or individuals sanctioned by the United States government in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Information regarding U.S. government sanctions against Russia can be found on the websites of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 

Current estimates are not yet available regarding current or planned contracts or procurements with Russian entities. Additional actions may be announced as events warrant.

The directive, effective immediately, also instructs state agencies to refrain from entering into new contracts or investments with the same entities subject to federal sanctions. Each agency's initial review and summary is due to the governor's general counsel no later than March 18. After reviewing each agency's findings, the governor's office will provide further guidance.

The Washington State Investment Board, an independent board that oversees the state’s retirement and public trust investments, is also taking steps to restrict purchasing of Russian investments. The WSIB reports less than $100 million of investment exposure to Russia, which is less than 0.10 percent of WSIB’s total assets. Inslee’s directive invites public agencies like the State Investment Board, as well as separately elected officials and private organizations, to conduct similar review of their operations.

Governors Newsom, Brown and Inslee Announce Updated Health Guidance.

https://www.governor.wa.gov/news-media/governors-newsom-brown-and-inslee-announce-updated-health-guidance

With declining case rates and hospitalizations across the west, California, Oregon and Washington are moving together to update their masking guidance. After 11:59 p.m. on March 11, California, Oregon and Washington will be adopting new indoor mask policies and move from mask requirements to mask recommendations in schools.

State policies do not change federal requirements, which still include masks on public transit.

Statement from Gov. Jay Inslee, Washington:

“We’ve continued to monitor data from our state Department of Health, and have determined we are able to adjust the timing of our statewide mask requirement. While this represents another step forward for Washingtonians, we must still be mindful that many within our communities remain vulnerable. Many businesses and families will continue choosing to wear masks, because we’ve learned how effective they are at keeping one another safe. As we transition to this next phase, we will continue to move forward together carefully and cautiously.” 

In Washington, indoor mask requirements will be lifted as of 11:59 p.m. on March 11. This new date does not change any other aspect of the updated mask requirements Inslee announced last week. Masks will still be required in certain settings including health care, corrections facilities, and long-term care facilities. The Washington State Department of Health will be issuing new guidance for K-12 schools next week so schools can prepare to implement updated safety protocols.

Statement from Gov. Gavin Newsom, California:

“California continues to adjust our policies based on the latest data and science, applying what we’ve learned over the past two years to guide our response to the pandemic. Masks are  an effective tool to minimize spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmission rates are high. We cannot predict the future of the virus, but we are better prepared for it and will continue to take measures rooted in science to keep California moving forward.” 

In California starting March 1, masks will no longer be required but will be strongly recommended for unvaccinated individuals in most indoor settings. After March 11, in schools and child care facilities, masks will not be required but will be strongly recommended. Masks will still be required for everyone in high transmission settings like public transit, emergency shelters, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long term care facilities. As always, local jurisdictions may have additional requirements beyond the state guidance. 

Statement from Gov. Kate Brown, Oregon:

“Two years ago today, we identified Oregon’s first case of COVID-19. As has been made clear time and again over the last two years, COVID-19 does not stop at state borders or county lines. On the West Coast, our communities and economies are linked. Together, as we continue to recover from the Omicron surge, we will build resiliency and prepare for the next variant and the next pandemic. As we learn to live with this virus, we must remain vigilant to protect each other and prevent disruption to our schools, businesses, and communities––with a focus on protecting our most vulnerable and the people and communities that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.”

In Oregon, the Oregon Health Authority rules requiring masks in indoor public places and schools will be lifted after 11:59 p.m. on March 11. Other state and federal requirements, such as those for health care settings, public transit, and other specialized settings, will remain in place for a period of time.

Consequently, we will continue defending this law enacted by the peoples’ representatives in the Legislature. All the parties recognize this case will ultimately be decided by the State Supreme Court. We respectfully disagree with this ruling, and we will appeal.”

Big improvements to Ecology apps make it easier to find toxics cleanup information

We know of almost 14,000 contamination cleanup sites in Washington state: places where accidents, spills, or industry contaminate the soil, water, or groundwater. Well over half of those sites have already been cleaned up. Still, with that many sites, chances are there’s one somewhere near you.

Since its launch six years ago, Ecology’s What’s in My Neighborhood tool has helped people see if there are cleanup sites near their homes or workplaces. It was time for an update — and while we were at it, we redesigned and expanded the cleanup site webpages, making it easier to get more info about individual cleanup sites.

ESD Monthly Employment Report: Payroll employment increased in January despite Omicron

The incident coincided with an atmospheric river that prompted active flood warnings for the nearby Skokomish River. With standby hatchery staff responding to equipment alarms throughout the night, the debris ultimately resulted in inadequate flows to hatchery incubation trays.

Kilmer, Cantwell, Murray, Celebrate $7.7 Million Federal Grant for Kitsap Transit Zero Emission Passenger Ferry.

https://kilmer.house.gov/news/press-releases/kilmer-cantwell-murray-celebrate-77-million-federal-grant-for-kitsap-transit-zero-emission-passenger-ferry

Bremerton, WA – Today, U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (WA-06) and U.S. Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) announced that Kitsap Transit will receive $7,700,000 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Passenger Ferry Grant Program. The funding will help Kitsap Transit replace a passenger-only diesel-powered vessel on the Port Orchard and Annapolis routes with a new passenger-only, zero emission battery-electric ferry. The proposed battery-electric, passenger-only ferry vessel will increase passenger capacity to accommodate 150 passengers and aims to reduce emissions, reduce maintenance costs, and nearly eliminate engine noise. The new vessel, which does not yet have a name, is expected to be delivered in early 2026.

“Having the federal government step up and assist Kitsap Transit in its efforts to provide ferry service to folks in our region has been a priority for me – and for our community,” said Rep. Kilmer. “This is big news because it will help Kitsap Transit reduce emissions, improve existing services, and provide greater public access in getting people where they need to go. And it’s also big news for local taxpayers and ferry passengers because the costs of vessel replacement won’t be borne just by folks in our neck of the woods. These federal investments are winners for our planet and for our economy!”  

“We are extremely thankful for this grant and for the FTA’s support of Kitsap Transit’s local ferry system,” said Kitsap Transit Executive Director John Clauson. “I’m also grateful for the support our grant application received from U.S Congressman Derek Kilmer and Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, who have pushed for investments in clean transportation infrastructure.”

“This $7.7 million Passenger Ferry Grant will fully fund Kitsap Transit’s replacement of the Admiral Pete foot ferry. The new zero-emission, all-electric passenger ferry is critical to helping us reduce maritime emissions, and will increase passenger capacity to better serve more than 1,000 daily riders on the Port Orchard and Annapolis routes,” said Senator Cantwell. “As the population of Kitsap County continues to grow and ferry traffic increases throughout the region, it’s important that we invest in more efficient green, zero-emission transportation to connect residents to their families, jobs, and the greater Puget Sound.”

“Like so many others in our state, ferries are a part of my commute, so I know first-hand just how important it is that they are running on schedule and safely to get people where they need to go,” said Senator Murray. “That's why I work every year on the Appropriations Committee, and why I fought to include in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, funding to not only fix our ferries, but also to electrify and modernize our ferry fleets, and upgrade our ports. Today's announcement is a big win for our environment and Washington state's ferry riders—and thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we're going to be seeing more announcements like this one in the future that will mean shorter and more reliable commutes for people across Puget Sound."

On Feb. 8, 2022, Washington’s state legislative leaders introduced a $16 billion transportation package that would provide Kitsap Transit $6.5 million to support the all-electric ferry project.

“This FTA grant, coupled with funding from the state’s historic transportation package, will help us build and support a sustainable, environmentally friendly fleet,” Clauson said. “These two funding sources will support the construction of an all-electric local ferry and the installation of infrastructure necessary to charge the vessel.” 

Washington state is home to the largest ferry system in the nation. Replacing this passenger-only diesel vessel with a new zero-emission battery-electric ferry will help Kitsap Transit align with federal goals to reduce transit emissions. In September 2021, Rep. Kilmer wrote to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in support of Kitsap Transit’s grant application.

The Admiral Pete, the foot-ferry currently serving the Port Orchard and Annapolis routes, was built in 1994, can only carry 120 passengers, and has resulted in costly maintenance needs as the vessel has aged. The Port Orchard and Annapolis routes serve more than 1,000 passengers daily, two of Kitsap Transit’s most efficient passenger-per-hour routes. In addition to replacing the aging ferry, the project will also help establish electric charging infrastructure at the Bremerton terminal. Fast, frequent, and reliable ferry service will provide local connections between Annapolis, Bremerton, and Port Orchard, where passengers can connect to Kitsap Transit bus service at Port Orchard and Annapolis, and connect to either fast-ferry service or Washington State Ferry service with connections to downtown Seattle from Bremerton.

The Passenger Ferry Grant Program funds capital projects that help eligible project sponsors support existing passenger ferry service, establish new ferry service, and upgrade ferry boats, terminals, and related facilities and equipment. The grants also help transit agencies and ferry companies offset the considerable cost of introducing new, climate-friendly propulsion technologies.

Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed by President Biden on November 15, 2021, the Passenger Ferry Grant Program will not only continue but will also be complemented by two new passenger ferry competitive grant programs, including:

Up to $2 billion for Ferry Service for Rural Communities to improve access and mobility in areas where ferry service is a critical link for communities

Up to $500 million for an Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry pilot program to support the transition of passenger ferries to low- or zero-emission technologies, which will help fight the climate crisis
