The 2025 session of the Washington State Legislature gavels in at noon on Monday, January 13th, and runs for 105 days until April 27th. This promises to be a historic session, with major new state executives being sworn in for the first time in over a decade, and with nearly three dozen legislators either new to Olympia or in new seats. Major issues the Legislature will debate include multi-billion dollar budget shortfalls in the state’s operating and transportation budgets, new or increased taxes, big-ticket labor and employment issues, artificial intelligence regulation, and various new regulations on business and commerce.
