Scattered local jurisdictions pulling their weight on the housing crisis isn't enough, we need statewide support - and HB 2266 provides it. Two local Councilmembers in Spokane and Aberdeen on the STEP Housing bill that just passed #WALeg 🥳 www.realchangenews.org/news/2026/03...

A huge thank you to the House lawmakers who stayed up day and night and day again to pass the Millionaires Tax tonight. Aiming for a better, more fair Washington!

Representative Mena: "Our outdated tax structure no longer allows us to take care of one another."

It has begun, the #WALeg House has begun debate on the Millionaires Tax! This is the final vote in the House, and once it passes here (and the Senate concurs in any changes), then it's on to @governorferguson.bsky.social's desk to become law!

The #WALeg House still has yet to vote on the Millionaires Tax! Our sources say that phone calls to lawmakers’ offices urging them to vote YES are what’s needed right now to keep the bill moving. We've made that easy by setting up a simple way to plug in your info and call them with one click:

Tell your lawmakers: pass the Millionaires Tax!

Call your WA Representatives to tell them to pass the Millionaires Tax this year!

Big news fresh from Olympia! The Senate just PASSED HB 2266, supporting more STEP housing statewide. 🎉 This is a huge win for getting more access to critical housing types like emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing! #WALeg

House Bill 2266 needs one more big push to be passed in the Senate this week! Ask your Senator to ensure critical housing and shelter is allowed in your community - secure.everyaction.com/qNPfGxnOlEin... #waleg

That's right!!! 👏👏👏 Even after paying the proposed Millionaires Tax, a household earning $1.5 million per year would still be left with $117,188 per month. By contrast, Washington’s current median household income is $98,141 per year... #WALeg

Sam Hatzenbeler @eoionline.bsky.social "millionaires would still have lowest effective tax rate of any state with a tax like this. they would pay more if they lived across the border in Idaho" Says this tax is modest for those at the top, but transformative for the rest of us

Housing Alliance Advocacy Organizer Po Leapai testified this morning in favor of SSB 6346, also known as the Millionaires Tax: “The Millionaire Tax finally offers Washington an opportunity toward a brighter future.”

Rep. Berg says 19,000 fraudulent sign ins were scammed onto this bill, including at least 2,000 people who were signed in without their consent. There was a press conference about this on Monday: investwanow.org/press-releas...

MILLIONAIRES TAX HAS ARRIVED IN THE HOUSE! #WALeg Finance Committee hearing on making the wealthy few pay more of what they truly owe in taxes to our communities is kicking off now. Follow along for highlights 🧵👇

🔴 RELEASE: Supporters of the Millionaires Tax were fraudulently signed in “con” for tomorrow’s House Finance Committee hearing. These fraudulent sign-ins call into question just how broad the opposition to this tax actually is. https://investwanow.org/press-releases/millionaires-tax-hearing-fraud
