High-Speed Chase Ends in K-9 Heroics: Snohomish County Deputies Apprehend Stolen Car Suspects

Controversial Washington Tax Bill Fails Following Bipartisan Opposition

In Washington, a controversial bill proposing a significant increase in property taxes has been abandoned. Senate Bill 5770, which sought to allow local governments to triple the annual property tax increase cap from one percent to three percent, faced strong opposition for potentially being the largest tax hike in state history. Public outcry and bipartisan resistance, highlighted by the withdrawal of support from key sponsors, led to the bill's failure in the State Senate. This development has halted what many feared would have made homeownership more challenging and placed additional financial burdens on those with fixed incomes.
