Op-Ed: Here we go again: Washington's education establishment wants more cash

This is not a reprint of a story 10 or even 20 years ago – although it sure could be. Washington state's education establishment is getting ready to file yet another lawsuit demanding taxpayers spend more money on K-12 education. And the news just so happens to come in the wake of the failure of I-645, which would have repealed Washington's new income tax. Now that the income tax has survived (for now), it's time to belly up to the taxpayer buffet. According to reports, the Lake Washington, Tacoma and Yakima school districts are preparing to sue the state claiming it fails "to fund basic education." But here's the problem: Washington state doesn't underfund K-12 education. According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, school district general fund spending reached $19,371 per pupil in 2024–25. A decade earlier, in 2015–16, it was $11,450. That is an increase of roughly 69%. For a classroom of 25 students, that is a whopping $484,275. This data does not include local spending on K-12, which adds hundreds of millions more. On top of this, Washington’s public schools are serving fewer students. The state’s Office of Financial Management reports K–12 enrollment of approximately 1.071

Just four votes separate candidates in East Pierce County state House race

A person who represents East Pierce County in the Washington state Legislature has run for re-election — and her bid for another term is on thin ice. According to the Washington Secretary of State’s website , the race for the 25th Legislative District’s second state representative has a four-vote difference. As of 2:40 p.m. on Wednesday, Republican incumbent Cyndy Jacobsen has 28,359 votes (49.97%) to Democratic challenger Jenn Marie Strickling’s 28,355 (49.97%). The 25th Legislative District stretches across Puyallup, South Hill and the Summit-Waller area. Voters first elected Jacobsen to the seat in 2020, replacing Rep. Chris Gildon (R), who went on to become the district’s state senator. She has been re-elected twice, once in 2022 and once in 2024. Before running for her seat in Olympia, Jacobsen served one term on the Puyallup City Council. According to the voter’s guide , Strickling is from Orting and served on the Pierce County Charter Review Commission after being elected in 2025. Jacobsen ran alongside fellow representative Michael Keaton (R), whose bid for a second term looks unlikely. As of Wednesday afternoon, Keaton had received 27,951 votes to Democratic challenger David Berg’s 28,851 votes — a 900-vote difference. Kyle Haugh, elections manager

Washington Man Lost Over $300K on Kalshi, Files Lawsuit Against the Company

If you’ve been reading about prediction markets in the last couple of years, you might know that providers such as Kalshi and Polymarket have faced many lawsuits from various organizations and institutions. In fact, earlier this week, the Alabama-Quassarte Tribe filed a lawsuit against Kalshi over its PokkeTrades partnership . However, private citizens are also suing Kalshi; one man who lost over $308,000 on the company’s platform filed a lawsuit, claiming the prediction market provider violated Washington State’s ban on online gambling. Man Sues Kalshi After Losing $308,000 Scott Bright from Bellevue, Washington , argued in a lawsuit filed on September 24 in King County Superior Court that his wagers were placed “at a time when it was unlawful in Washington and when the Washington Attorney General had already sued KalshiEX LLC in this Court alleging precisely that.” Kalshi has since filed a motion seeking to dismiss the case. The Plaintiff’s side essentially argues that Kalshi’s product constitutes online gambling, which Washington has explicitly banned since 2006 . The state has long had a law allowing individuals who lose money through illegal gambling to sue the operators responsible and recover their losses, the Plaintiff argues. According to the lawsuit, between

As Funds Dried Up, Nonprofit Immigration Group Hired Anti-Labor Law Firm to Crush Union

As the two executives of immigration advocacy group Washington Immigration Solidarity Network (WAISN) burned through cash and as donations dropped, a unionization effort from their workers led them to do something unthinkable for a Washington nonprofit allied with labor unions. WAISN hired Davis Grimm Payne & Marra, a top union-busting law firm in the Pacific Northwest whose work has eroded unions’ right to strike across the US.

Civil Rights Dept. May Investigate Claims Of Out-Of-State Employee

Civil Rights Dep’t v. Space Exploration Techs. Corp., 123 Cal. App. 5 th 89 (2026) A former SpaceX employee who lived and worked in Washington filed an administrative complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (the CRD) alleging sex discrimination and retaliation under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). She alleged that the relevant employment decisions had connections to California, including California-based managers to whom she reported. At SpaceX’s request, the CRD narrowed its subpoena to documents bearing on the jurisdictional question of where the relevant decisions were made, approved, or ratified; when SpaceX declined to respond further, the CRD successfully petitioned the superior court to enforce the subpoena. The Court of Appeal affirmed, rejecting SpaceX’s position that FEHA can never protect an employee who works outside California as well as its argument that enforcement of the subpoena violated the presumption against extraterritorial application of state law. The Court emphasized that the CRD’s authority to investigate is distinct from the ultimate question of whether FEHA’s substantive protections apply and that an investigation may be justified by fewer California connections than would be required to establish a FEHA violation.
