I have long called for a ban on drilling off the coast of WA so we can better protect our environment for generations to come. I commend President Biden for taking this historic step. www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2025/...

President Biden poised to protect hundreds of millions of aquatic lands from oil drilling and create new national monuments - NPI's Cascadia Advocate

A federal law dating back to the 1950s called the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act makes it straightforward for Biden to prohibit oil drilling across a wide swath of American waters. Because the law ...

Canada is Washington's neighbor & one of our biggest trading partners. Prime Minister Trudeau & I engaged on many issues together. Even when we didn't always agree, I knew he was a true partner & friend to the U.S. Thank you for your many years of service. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

The new $2,000 cap on Medicare patients’ out-of-pocket prescription drug costs will save Washington seniors over $400 on average this year at the pharmacy counter. This cost-saving benefit was a key piece of Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.

Prescription costs now capped at $2k a year for seniors on Medicare Part D

I secured protections for WA’s hydrogen industry in regulations issued today by the Biden admin. These changes will help ensure hydrogen projects in WA continue to move forward, creating good-paying jobs & clean energy to power our economy.

This a devastating loss. We must do more to protect these PNW icons. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Mother orca Tahlequah once again carrying her dead calf

Tahlequah is once again carrying a dead calf, researchers said, as she did in 2018 in a 17-day, 1,000-mile tour that shocked the region and world.

My statement on the passing of President Jimmy Carter:

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene@repdelbene.bsky.socialDec 28(source)

Thrilled to announce a nearly $50 million federal investment to plan a high-speed rail line in the PNW, better-connecting communities from British Columbia & Portland to the Puget Sound region. These federal resources I helped secure will move us closer to faster & greener transportation.

Portland-Seattle-Vancouver high-speed rail idea lands $49.7 million federal grant

The proposed passenger rail line would link Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, BC. The current Amtrak Cascades line follows a similar route but is limited to 79 mph.

Great news: the U.S. officially eradicated murder hornets that were threatening native pollinators in the PNW! This is a big win for farmers, agriculture, & our ecosystems. Proud of the $750,000 federal investment I secured to help this effort.

'Murder hornet' eradicated from the U.S., officials announce

The northern giant hornet, which was first found in the U.S. in 2019, hasn't been detected in three years, officials said. It posed a threat to honeybees, other pollinators and native insects.
