Seattle's Jaelynn Scott set to be Washington's first trans lawmaker

Seattle voters are poised to send the first openly transgender person to Washington's Legislature, with Jaelynn Scott holding 87% of the vote as of Thursday. The big picture: The milestone comes in the same election in which Washington voters approved new restrictions on trans girls competing in girls' school sports. Zoom in: Scott, the executive director of the Black trans advocacy organization the Lavender Rights Project, is on track to win the Position 2 seat in Washington's 37th Legislative District. The state House chief clerk and state Senate secretary told Axios they were unaware of any previous Washington legislators who publicly identified as transgender. The 37th district consists mostly of southeast Seattle but also includes a small part of Renton and some unincorporated areas, including Skyway. What they're saying: Scott acknowledged the historic nature of her victory in an election night news release. But she said her campaign was primarily about "families fighting to stay in the neighborhoods they built," along with "housing, health care and schools." "Being first is a responsibility, not a trophy," Scott said. "To every trans kid in Washington who has been told there's no place for them: there is. It's in the State House." Her

It's been a mild fall in Whatcom County. That's about to change

Get set for a wet and windy weekend, along with a few power outages and coastal flooding, as storms are lining up to batter Western Washington after a drier than normal October. Gusty south winds will increase late Thursday into Friday, with the strongest breezes from Everett northward, National Weather Service meteorologist Jacob DeFlitch said Tuesday in the online forecast discussion. ”Due to continued foliage on the trees, localized power outages may be possible during this period. Snow levels remain higher Friday into Sunday, mainly 5,000 to 8,000 feet, for high-elevation mountain snowfall. Furthermore, seas rise towards 15 to 20 feet Friday, and will need to monitor high surf concerns along the coast,” DeFlitch said. A wind advisory issued for 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday calls for south winds at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph for western Whatcom County. About a half-inch to an inch of rain is possible through Friday night in the lowlands, with heavy rain Friday and again Saturday night into Sunday as a second storm arrives. “Moderate to heavy rain may lead to roadway ponding and minor nuisance flooding of poor drainage areas, creating difficult commute conditions,” the National Weather Service
