Saturday, you can tune in for a virtual town hall version of this political rite of spring as Reps. Nicole Macri and Frank Chopp, and Sen. Jamie Pedersen take part in an online update on the legislative session:

Our Seattle-area state lawmakers have said they are working on a suite of legislation that would look to improve police accountability across Washington through a more stringent officer decertification process, a public use of force database, and create a statewide civilian-led body for misconduct investigations. You also might want to ask about the plans for a new state capital gains tax and concerns efforts to forge a statewide payroll tax won’t undermine Seattle’s tax on large companies.
