Longtime Central WA lawmaker and state official Sid Morrison dies at age 93

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. He served in the state House for eight years, and then spent six years in the state Senate before he was elected as a Republican to the U.S. House representing the 4th District. He served in Congress for 12 years, from 1980 to 1992. He was known for working across party lines to get things done.

During his six terms in Congress, Morrison was involved in the creation of the Goats Rocks and William O.
