Colleagues,
If you can go - do so...especially if you worked on one or more of these bills...Michele Thomas, Washington Low Income Housing Alliance, provided the instructions below and the attached list of bills.

From Michele:

We just got word that all of our bills are being signed tomorrow at 2:00 by the Governor! All of you are welcome to attend the signings! These bills were all a team effort and I hope that you can make it! 

Below is some basic info about bill signings. Note that if you can't make it down, you can watch it on TVW: 

  • The bill action notice gives the location and time of the bill signing. Possible locations include:
    • Governor’s Conference Room on the second floor of the Legislative Building
    • State Reception Room on the third floor of the Legislative Building
    • Off-site locations around the state
  • Capitol Campus building map is available here.
  • Parking information for the Capitol Campus is available here.
  • There are often large groups at bill signings so when you arrive, we ask that you find your bill number and line up in the hallway. Our staff will call groups into the conference room when their bill is being signed.
  • Children are welcome. Service animals only are also allowed in the office.
  • During the signing, guests should form a group behind the governor. The spots immediately to the governor’s left and right are reserved for the legislators who sponsored the bill. After the governor gives brief remarks, a photographer will take a group photo available for purchase here. The bill signings are also recorded and available for viewing on tvw.org.
  • After the photos, our staff will pass out ceremonial pens to commemorate the signing.
  • Guests should then exit the conference room through the rear door.
Best, 

Michele
