Lawsuit filed against Washington over ban on transgender girls from girls school sports

Lawyers representing a group of parents and nonprofit organizations officially filed a lawsuit against Washington state this week to prevent Initiative 638, a ballot measure that would ban transgender girls from playing in girls sports, from going into effect. The legal challenge begins three weeks before the measure is set to be implemented on Dec. 3 and asks a judge to rule I-638 unconstitutional before it takes effect next month. Voters approved I-638 with 56% of the vote in this month's general election, compared to 44% of voters who opposed the measure. Washington was one of four states -- including Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska -- where initiatives restricting transgender student athletes from playing on girls' sports teams were on the ballot this election cycle. All four measures have been approved by voters . Legal Voice, the ACLU of Washington and Pacifica Law Group are representing a number of plaintiffs in the lawsuit: a group of seven parents whose children play on girls sports team in Washington state public schools; TransFamilies, a nonprofit founded and based in Washington that provides support to transgender children and their families across the country; and the Washington Education Association, the state's educators union representing 80,000

Remembering Elaine Somers, an environmental leader and First Lady of Snohomish County

Elaine Somers, of Monroe who served as Snohomish County’s first lady since 2016, died Oct. 25 at age 73. Somers was a career environmental professional whose work at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Pacific Northwest Region 10 shaped how infrastructure projects account for wildlife and habitat.
