WA's economy is creating extraordinary opportunity, but too many jobs aren't going to Washingtonians. In a joint op-ed for @EverettHerald with AFA and @WTIA, we call on lawmakers to restore the original intent of the Washington Education Investment Act. heraldnet.com/2026/03/10/com…

ICYMI the Cascadia Blockchain Council hosted a happy hour at Optimism Brewery last week. Community showed up and it was so great to see everyone. Cc @SeaBlockchain Here’s a photo of me and @NickEllingson23 - Director of Products/Programs for the @WTIA. He’s been my blockchain BFF and sidekick building up the blockchain related efforts here in WA state since 2018. Can’t praise him enough - one of the best partners that I get to work together with. Almost 5 years later, now in WA thanks to all the great work of WTIA and our community, we’ve had town halls, built up great relationships w government offices and agencies like the Washington State Department of Commerce, WA State Department of Revenue, Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, launched the @cascadiacounci1 Cascadia Blockchain Council, advocated and passed bills including the WA State Blockchain Work Group, launched the Advanced Technology Cluster for Blockchain/Quantum Computing, launched the @blockcoalition U.S. Blockchain Coalition, hosted round tables, unconferences, tours, and so much more. Let’s keep BUIDL-ing. #TogetherWeRise
