Balancing Act: Washington’s Carbon Tax Finances Forest Protection and Logging

Washington State's new carbon tax, which has increased living costs, is now funding forest conservation. $10 million from the tax has been used to buy 670 acres near Dabob Bay, part of a larger $70 million plan to protect 2,000 acres. The area's unique plant life and the forest's role in carbon sequestration are central to the debate. While some advocate for the preservation of these mature forests, others argue for the benefits of managed logging. The state plans to use the lands for both preservation and logging.

Seattle Residents Unite for Change After Drive-By Shooting Near Local Daycare

In the wake of a drive-by shooting in Seattle's Central District that injured a man and damaged a daycare, the community convened for a safety meeting. Appollonia "Apple" Washington, co-owner of A 4 Apple Learning Center, showcased a new mural with a dove symbol on the replaced window, signifying a commitment to peace. Community Passageways is enhancing its visibility in the area, while District 3 City Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth promised city resources for safety improvements. Changes at a local bus stop have already reduced drug activity and loitering. Washington has also upgraded security at her daycare and is advocating for further safety measures, including bullet-proof glass. The community plans to continue these discussions in monthly meetings.
