I just got off the phone with the National Weather Service and am alarmed to hear that the Skagit River will peak 4-5 feet above the record crest level. Please please please stay alert and follow evacuation orders. This is not just another flood.

Fast, traffic-free, affordable transportation infrastructure is going to pay dividends for generations to come.
We fought for over $1 billion in federal investment in this project – and despite the first Trump administration’s obstruction, we got it done.
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—often called "America’s Serengeti"—is one of the largest untouched ecosystems on our planet.
I spoke on the Senate floor against efforts to overturn ANWR’s land management plan and allow oil and gas drilling in these pristine public lands.
Trump’s trade wars also risk hurting Washington ports that ship almost $20 billion worth of U.S. agricultural exports per year. Plus, Trump’s tariffs continue to harm American consumers, manufacturers, and small businesses, who keep paying the costs without relief. (2/2)
Washington state produces amazing agricultural products that the whole world wants to buy, but Trump’s tariff chaos is sabotaging decades of hard work winning overseas shelf space. Washington farmers don’t want a meager bailout, they want to be able to export their goods across the globe. (1/2)
Today we honor the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor. On this 84th anniversary, we are reminded that we must never take the sacrifices of those who serve for granted.
When the administration talks about how much revenue is coming from these tariffs, the revenue is coming right out of the pockets of Americans.
The American people were promised lower prices. Where are they?

Giving the powerful more power to snuff out competition is not the way to go.
I urge NOAA to immediately restore funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, an important partner for real-time seismic data used in tsunami warnings.
I am deeply concerned that NOAA's cancellation of this grant poses risks to Washington and the entire West Coast. My letter ⬇️
Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday, a chance to celebrate the millions of small business owners who keep our communities strong and create local jobs. I encourage all Washingtonians to #ShopSmall and show support for their favorite local businesses.
Wishing all Washingtonians a joyful and safe Thanksgiving! No matter where you are or how you're celebrating, may your day be filled with gratitude, holiday cheer, and delicious food!
On a day of thanksgiving we are so grateful Mohammed Ibrahim is on his way home.

Our hearts and prayers are with the National Guard members wounded in yesterday’s horrific attack in Washington, DC. All Americans should pray for their recovery.
In 2023, Canadians spent $18 million on Washington state wine.
Today, U.S. wine exports to Canada are down 90%. The Washington State Wine Commission explains how Trump's tariffs are putting Washington's family farms at risk.

Gordon Gee is right. College athletic departments are losing money and are cutting support for women’s and Olympic sports.
A solution? @cantwell.senate.gov’s SAFE Act: Unifying media rights to unlock billions.

With so much riding on the reliable transportation of fuel through BP's Olympic Pipeline, we need to understand what caused the recent leak and why a blueberry farmer—not BP—first identified the spill. My letter to BP's CEO:

There is no way to express how important Mark Mellman was to me and my organization. I simply couldn't have been as successful without him. My condolences to his family, friends, coworkers and the many people Mark touched in his life. (4/4)
There was nobody like him on the precision of the numbers. He was always on the money. Mark also helped many environmental organizations come up with the right strategies to win big fights. And he was a great friend and advocate of Israel. (3/4)
Mark told me on election night in 2000 that I would win a Senate seat, which eventually helped flip control of the U.S. Senate. He said on election night I would win but it would be very very very close. He was right— three weeks later I was declared the winner by just over 2,200 votes. (2/4)
Mark Mellman was a great man. He was a terrific pollster whose smart insights and analysis helped propel many Democrats to victory including myself. (1/4) campaignsandelections.com/industry-new...
