Friday, Nov. 3, is Veterans Day and the 104th anniversary of Armistice Day concluding World War I. The United States Congress officially recognized the holiday in June 1926, proclaiming, “It is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace.” Cities and towns across Washington state celebrate the holiday with parades and events to honor veterans. The City of Auburn hosted its annual Veterans Day Parade <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1N iJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMTIuNjY1NzM4MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3R3aXR0ZXIuY29tL2F1YnVybl93YS9zdGF0dXMvMTU4ODk4NzYxNzQ1ODQyNTg1Nj91dG1fbWV kaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.182TFtNp9-EqkVinFjr3GGKQ0fCyodm5tGSbOLRlc68/s/785227175/br/148057092449-l> with 6,000 participants.

The Tacoma Historical Society hosted its annual Veterans Day Celebration at War Memorial Park. Many more events are scheduled statewide. “No matter how or where you celebrate the holiday, I hope you join me in taking a moment to honor our nation’s veterans and the many thousands of Washingtonians who served,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “And to those veterans: thank you. Thank you for your patriotism and sense of duty. It’s your day.” <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WAGOV/2022/11/6715488/4425648/221111-veterans-day-20_crop.jpeg> Two veterans from the Edward B.

The state Building Code Council voted in favor of the requirement <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMTIuNjY1NzM4MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5zZWF0dGxldGltZXMuY29tL3NlYXR0bG UtbmV3cy9lbnZpcm9ubWVudC93YS1idWlsZGluZy1jb3VuY2lsLXZvdGVzLXRvLXJlcXVpcmUtaGVhdC1wdW1wcy1pbi1uZXctaG9tZXMtYW5kLWFwYXJ0bWVudHMvP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.TdG-uBUGPK4Ddr0Y 9mPUWeJyniVKRP2R-XE5mJ8mcpI/s/785227175/br/148057092449-l> this week. The switch will reduce carbon emissions and reliance on nonrenewable heat sources. Natural gas is pollutive, contributing to health issues in gas-burning homes and creating greenhouse gases that accelerate global warming. Electric heat pumps are efficient, and many units can both heat and cool living spaces. Washington state enjoys some of America’s cheapest electricity; Seattle rates are 29% below the national average. In addition to low monthly costs, electric heat pumps often require minimal maintenance. Electric heat is also safer than gas heat – gas furnaces in disrepair can produce lethal, odorless carbon monoxide <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMTIuNjY1NzM4MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwc zovL3d3dy5jZGMuZ292L2NvL2Z1cm5hY2VzYWZldHlmYWN0c2hlZXQuaHRtbD91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkifQ.zaZGFf5uzEqMMdGHGMiY5rcTLo8t5ugCuG1KRhtOsTw/s/785227175/br/148057092449-l> . “Electric heat is the way to go. Here in Washington state, we have a clean and reliable grid, and some of the cheapest power in the country,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “New housing units will benefit from safe, efficient heating and I’m sure tenants will enjoy low monthly bills.” ________________________________ State health care exchange begins open enrollment, offers new subsidies <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WAGOV/2022/11/6711382/wahealthplanfinder_original.jpg> Lower health care premiums are calling – WA Healthplanfinder open enrollment has begun, and Washingtonians are invited to select from a variety of low-cost health insurance plans.

Many low-income individuals and families may purchase health coverage for less than $10 per month thanks to new state subsidies. More than 40% of Washingtonians who purchase insurance through WA Healthplanfinder are eligible for the new Cascade Care Savings program, available to individuals and families making 250% or less of the federal poverty level. Individuals making $32,000 or less, or families of four making $66,250 or less <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDgsInVy aSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjExMTIuNjY1NzM4MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy53YWhiZXhjaGFuZ2Uub3JnL2N1cnJlbnQtY3VzdG9tZXJzL3lvdXItMTA5NS1hLXN0YXRlbWVudC9hZmZvcmRhYmlsaXR5LWV4ZW1wdGlvbi9 mZWRlcmFsLXBvdmVydHktbGV2ZWwvP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.Ah5OMHsL4DSBRaR5XyLvVSNTwGBu5vVbhITO6TPJY58/s/785227175/br/148057092449-l> , are likely eligible. “I do not believe health care is a privilege in the 21st Century – health care is a right,” said Inslee. “I was proud to sign the nation’s first public option plan into law, and I’m proud that we’ve advanced our cause since by making health coverage even more attainable for working families.” The Washington Healthplanfinder open enrollment period concludes Jan. 15, 2023. ________________________________ News you might have missed: Election results take shape statewide While local counties and the Secretary of State’s Office continue to verify the final results of the recent general election, many races have been decided.
