Former state lawmaker and congressman Sid Morrison, who was known for his decades of public service in Central Washington, died Tuesday at age 93. He helped shape policy over a wide range of issues, including agriculture, energy, water, transportation and education, according to his obituary and information from the state House of Representatives.
