Good news happens. This episode is the first installment of a three-part series on 2026 state, county, and city policy. 

As the 2026 Washington State Legislative Session begins on January 12, we sat down with Amanda Sandoval, United Way director of systems change and policy, for a discussion about the governor’s budget, expectations around this year’s legislative session, and ways that you can make your concerns heard to lawmakers.

 We will also discuss our upcoming Free Tax Preparation campaign and a local volunteer opportunity.

Thanks for tuning in!
