I-638 ACLU

I-638 Let's Go WA

Senator Patty Murray

Anna King on Cory Easterday

The inevitable court challenge to I-638 is here. That initiative bars trans girls from playing girls K-12 sports in Washington. It passed with over 55 percent of the vote. And opponents vowed to fight it in court as soon as it became clear that voters would pass it. Last night, they did just that – the ACLU of Washington, Legal Voice, and Pacifica Law Group filed a lawsuit to block the measure from going into effect. 

Plus, Senator Patty Murray on her plans for a Democrat controlled Senate and you can weigh in on the state ferry's interior design.

Rep. Jayapal LIVE

Democrats are still basking in the glow of their sweeping electoral wins. You have to go back a half a century, to the post-Watergate era, to find a similar landslide victory by either party in the House. 

And the New York Times reports there may be no modern precedent for the wave of GOP-leaning Senate seats that flipped to Democratic control Tuesday. In two months, they’ll take control of both chambers of congress. How will they lead? Soundside caught up with Representative Pramila Jayapal from Washington’s 7th district to talk about legislative priorities.
