On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present audio from a presentation made by the late Daniel J. Evans, former governor and U.S. senator for the Evergreen State.

Governor Evans was invited to share his views and ideas about what stories should be included in what ultimately became MOHAI's new home at Lake Union Park in Seattle. This presentation was one of several where MOHAI invited noted people to share their ideas and take questions from the audience of civic leaders as part of the process to design the new museum.

ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Speaker emeritus Frank Chopp, who voluntarily switched his role to Rep. Frank Chopp at the end of the 2019 session, is the special guest on this episode of Capitol Ideas. The good things he's done for the Evergreen State are too numerous to list here, but if you listen to today's conversation, you'll notice a promise to include some items in the show notes. Here, in no particular order, are some of the things that he played a pivotal role in: the state Housing Trust fund; the best minimum wage in the U.S.; paid family and medical leave; free college and university tuition for those who need it most; the Marriage Equality Act; the Dream Act; the Voting Rights Act; the Long-term Care Trust Act; the Education Legacy Fund; The College Bound Scholarship program; Apple Health for All Kids; Apple Health and Homes; and 20 years of state budgets that put people first.

The humble hop is a vital aspect of Washington's early economic history, even if the dairy, coal, and lumber sectors all played larger and more important roles. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Yakima Valley's charming green bines—hop vine cones—that grow high on trellises contributed to the creation of agricultural commerce hubs and wealth accumulation. Beginning with plantings in Western Washington in the middle of the 1860s, the hop industry grew rapidly. The crop started to attract attention as production increased and there was proof of high-quality hops. The New York Times reported in September 1891 that "Washington is the only State in the Union where hop growing is carried on with more success than in Washington." Listen now to learn more about this fascinating Evergreen State crop!

On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Chris Moore, executive director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, about legislation currently on the move in Olympia - which, if enacted, could seriously compromise local historic preservation ordinances in many Evergreen State communities.

Hart was born in High Point, Missouri in 1862. He would relocate to Washington after completing his legal studies in Missouri as a young man. He later went on to chair the Selective Service Appeals Board for Southwest Washington and presided over the State Senate during the first World War. In 1912, he was elected Lieutenant Governor, and in 1916, he would be re-elected . He was sworn in as governor in 1919 following Earnest Lister's death, and would be elected in his own right in 1920. In addition to supporting better roadway systems and a state highway patrol, Hart oversaw the construction of the new Capitol complex while serving as governor. In addition, he was in charge of restructuring the state's administrative system, cutting the number of agencies from 75 to 10. Listen now to learn more about this mostly forgotten figure in the political history of the Evergreen State

From 1901 until 1905, Henry G. McBride was the fourth governor of Washington state. He was first elected lieutenant governor in 1900, and when Governor John Rogers passed away in December of 1901, he was appointed governor. The majority of historians believe his tenure was stable and effectively run. His support for a powerful commission to oversee the state's railroads at a time when their owners held significant sway over the legislature is what most people remember about him, and it cost him the Republican nomination for reelection in 1904. The only governor in the state to hold the role without ever being elected, McBride unsuccessfully sought the executive's chair again in 1908 and in 1916.Listen now to learn more about this fascinating character in the Evergreen State's political history!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!

We're couldn't be more excited to announce a new partnership here at the Bounce Forward and Be Audacious. We're teaming up with one of the fastest (and baddest) men on two wheels, Cole Paton. The Bounce Forward as you know it isn't going anywhere, we'll still do long form, in depth conversations with athletes and performers, but we're going to add another layer with our new show within the show Roll On, Cole Paton.    In this first episode of Roll On, Cole Paton, we take a deep dive into Cole's time in Bentonville for the final event of the 2024 Life Time Grand Prix—Big Sugar. We explore the mental challenges Cole had to hurdle, unable to race the final weekend of his season. In true Roll On and Bounce Forward fashion, Cole shares how he worked through being too sick to compete in the last big throw down of 2024 and how he's embracing the beginning of his off-season.  With the show title, Roll On, we're giving a nod to Cole's path as one of the top off-road endurance cyclists in North America, staying true to what it looks like to ‘Bounce Forward,' while representing where we grew up, the Evergreen State, and the Columbia River watershed, ‘Roll On Columbia roll on,' if you know, you know.  With Roll On, we're going to bring you stories from inside the game, inside the mind and inside the season of Cole Paton. We're going to consistently connect with Cole, checking in, unpacking things after the highs and lows of big events, like Leadville, any and all Life Time Grand Prix races and Marathon Worlds and Nationals, just to name a few.  These conversations will be raw, real and vulnerable—and as a result, we believe, really powerful, adding value and telling some damn good stories.   We'll also utilize this show as an opportunity for Cole to share any big announcements, or just riff, talk story and share what's on his mind. Our goal here is to share Cole's experiences afield with the world—with you, the listener.    If you don't know Cole, you're about to, and I can tell you with 100% certainty, he's the real deal.  We plan to bring some fresh perspective and strong energy—while keeping it light and loose. We're really passionate about this canvas we're painting, this connection we're building and this thing we're creating.  We hope you'll join us on this journey.  Cole's Instagram: @colepaton Website: ⁠⁠⁠beaudacious.com⁠⁠⁠ Michael's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@michaelleachba⁠⁠⁠ Show's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thebounceforward⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, host Lyle Perez guides listeners through the shadowy history of Washington State. From foggy coastal towns to eerie castles, Washington's mix of historic landmarks and rainy, mystical landscapes creates the perfect backdrop for the supernatural. Discover 10 haunted spots in Washington where spirits are said to linger—whether in a vintage saloon or the haunted remains of an old hospital. Featured Locations: Oxford Saloon, Snohomish 913 First St, Snohomish, WA 98290 The Oxford Saloon in Snohomish has a reputation for dark encounters, particularly in its basement, where violent clashes are said to have taken place. The saloon is haunted by Henry, a bouncer and former policeman, whose spirit often appears near the basement stairs. Henry is known for being especially active around female visitors, with some reporting a sudden, unexplained pinch. Another spectral figure, Kathleen, was a madam who worked in the saloon, and her spirit is often seen in a purple dress, keeping close watch over the space she once managed. Mount Baker Theatre, Bellingham 104 N Commercial St, Bellingham, WA 98225 Built in 1927, this historic theater has become home to a young ghost named Judy. Employees report encounters with Judy's spirit in the balcony, where her soft laughter echoes, and occasionally feel her cold touch on their shoulders. Judy is known to have a playful nature, especially around male staff members, making her presence more charming than frightening. Other strange occurrences include the appearance of glowing orbs and faint, unearthly whispers throughout the building. Northern State Hospital, Sedro-Woolley 25625 Helmick Rd, Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284 Now part of the Northern State Recreation Area, this former mental hospital housed thousands of patients during the early 1900s, many of whom endured controversial treatments. Visitors often see an apparition of a nurse pushing a wheelchair or hear the faint cries of former patients. The abandoned buildings and ruins give off a chilling, otherworldly atmosphere, especially at night, making it a popular spot for paranormal investigations. Thornewood Castle, Lakewood 8601 N Thorne Ln SW, Lakewood, WA 98498 Thornewood Castle, a Tudor-style mansion, was constructed in the early 1900s and has its own share of resident spirits. Its original owner, Chester Thorne, and his wife Anna are said to haunt the hallways, making occasional appearances to guests. Paranormal investigators frequently capture cold spots in the castle's sprawling gardens, and ghostly apparitions have been reported in rooms where the Thornes once stayed. The castle's appearance in Stephen King's Rose Red has only added to its eerie allure. Port Gamble, Kitsap Peninsula Port Gamble, WA 98364 Port Gamble is known for the Walker-Ames House, a Victorian mansion that has attracted ghost hunters from across the nation. Visitors often report the sounds of children laughing and sightings of a woman, possibly a former nanny, roaming the halls. The house is a centerpiece of Port Gamble's annual Ghost Conference, where paranormal enthusiasts gather to explore the haunted locations around town. Manresa Castle, Port Townsend 651 Cleveland St, Port Townsend, WA 98368 Built in 1892, Manresa Castle is famed for its tragic ghost stories, including that of a Jesuit priest who allegedly took his own life in one of the towers. The priest's spirit, along with that of a young woman who is said to have leaped to her death, lingers in the castle's halls. Guests report feeling sudden drops in temperature and hearing faint voices when the halls are empty. Hotel Sorrento, Seattle 900 Madison St, Seattle, WA 98104 Seattle's Hotel Sorrento is haunted by Alice B. Toklas, a prominent literary figure often associated with the seventh floor. Guests staying in Room 408 frequently hear ghostly piano music and encounter an unsettling tall figure that is often seen in the hotel's historic elevator. In the Madrona Room, glasses have been known to shatter on their own, adding to the hotel's ghostly atmosphere. Walker-Ames House, Port Gamble 100 NE Rainier Ave, Port Gamble, WA 98364 The Walker-Ames House is considered Washington's most haunted residence, where a female spirit is seen peering out from the windows, and a ghostly young girl, known as Annabelle, often plays on the stairs. The basement and attic are the most active areas, with visitors reporting cold spots and unexplained movements, especially around old toys left out for Annabelle's spirit. The Rucker Mansion, Everett 412 Laurel Dr, Everett, WA 98201 The Rucker Mansion, built in 1904, is haunted by Jane Rucker, who died tragically after a fall. Jane's presence is often sensed on the staircase, where a faint scent of lavender lingers—a favorite of hers during her life. Guests and caretakers report doors slamming shut on their own and shadowy figures seen in the mansion's windows, watching over the grounds. Kell's Irish Pub, Seattle 1916 Post Alley, Seattle, WA 98101 Located in the former Butterworth Mortuary, Kell's Irish Pub has chilling roots as Seattle's first mortuary. Shadows appear near the bar, where a tall man in old-fashioned attire is often seen watching patrons. Another frequent ghostly sighting is that of a young girl, whose laughter echoes eerily from the basement. Staff and patrons frequently report cold drafts, shattering glasses, and a feeling of being watched, making Kell's one of Seattle's most infamous haunted spots.

In 1892, John H. McGraw was elected as the second governor of the Evergreen State. At the age of 26, he traveled from Maine to Seattle in the 1870s and found employment as an Occidental Hotel clerk. His career in politics, business, and law enforcement in the Pacific Northwest began when he enlisted in Seattle's small police department. His path took him from chief of police to sheriff of King County; in 1886, he was involved in the anti-Chinese riots. He then pursued his legal studies and was quite quickly a Republican candidate for governor. During his tenure as governor, he backed both the Lake Washington Ship Canal Project and the University of Washington. He participated in the 1897 gold rush after serving as governor, then after failing to strike it rich, though his health made a drastic upturn, he went back to Seattle and entered the real estate market.Listen now to learn more about one of Washington's most interesting governors! A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!

The Norwegian bark Prince Arthur was traveling in ballast from Valparaiso, Chile, to Esquimalt, British Columbia, for lumber on the stormy night of January 2nd, 1903. The ship ended up striking an offshore reef 10 miles south of Cape Alava on the sparsely populated north coast of the Olympic Peninsula, eventually broke apart, and its crew of twenty men was thrown into the choppy sea. Just two people managed to make it out alive. Twelve of the victims' bodies were found and buried in shallow graves on the shore with the assistance of the local settlers and Natives.A granite obelisk named the Norwegian Monument will be erected in commemoration of the fallen sailors a short time later by a delegation from the Norwegian community in Seattle. The bodies would quickly be moved to a shared cemetery on the bluff overlooking the wreck site, which can be visited today, though its quite a hike in. This tragic incident is just one of the many that have happened on the Evergreen State coast, which has long been referred to as the "Graveyard of the Pacific."A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!

On the 30th of October, 1926, late on a Saturday afternoon, 14 year old Letitia Whitehall walked from her Kirkland house to the dentist's office. She would never return home. On November 14th of that year, her body was discovered in the Sammamish River close to the Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore. She'd been sexually assaulted and then strangled to death. Chester Dobbs, the dentist, was put on trial and declared not guilty. No additional investigation was ever conducted, no other potential suspects were ever identified, and the case essentially vanished from the public eye.Listen now to learn more about this terrible unsolved crime in the Evergreen State.A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!

Since our last conversation, Jesse's been hard at work restoring unique properties across Washington and beyond, bringing a mix of rustic charm and modern convenience to places you might never expect. From fixing up a yacht that doubles as an office to building bridges—literally—at his Pacific Dunes property, Jesse shares how he's redefining what hospitality can look like. To kick things off, Jesse updates us on his famous yacht, which he uses as a floating office. After a complete restoration, it's still going strong, and I even took a trip to Poulsboo for some relaxation. As Jesse says, it's a labor of love—a new engine, a rebuilt transom, and the whole deal. It's clear that for him, hospitality isn't just about running hotels or lodges. It's about creating experiences; sometimes, that means turning a boat into your workspace! What's Happening at Pacific Dunes? Scott's questions about Jesse's Pacific Dunes property, and Jesse is more than happy to give us the scoop. They've been adding to the "vintage vibe" of the place with a new coffee shop, a gift shop, and even a beer garden. Plus, there's that bridge Scott had to ask about. It's not just a metaphor—Jesse and his team really built a bridge to give guests easy access to the beachfront. Instead of a long walk, it's a quick 5-minute stroll to get your toes in the sand. Details like these make Pacific Dunes more than just a place to stay. Jesse's vision for the property is all about offering guests more than just a room—it's about giving them an unforgettable experience. Whether sipping coffee at the new shop or enjoying a local beer in the garden, it's clear that Pacific Dunes is becoming a destination in its own right. The Rise of Tiny Homes and Glamping But it's not just about yachts and bridges. Jesse's been hard at work expanding the accommodations at Pacific Dunes, too. They've added tiny homes, glamping tents, and more RV stalls, making it the perfect spot for group events like weddings. And it's not just about sleeping under the stars—guests can rent out an entire "glamping village," combining the best of both worlds: the comfort of private lodging with the charm of an outdoor adventure . Growing Beyond Washington State Hearing about JET Hospitality's growth is one of the most exciting parts of the conversation. Jesse shares that they've expanded beyond Washington into states like Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho, with 10 locations across five states. But don't worry, Washington State still holds a special place in Jesse's heart, and he hints that there are always new projects on the horizon in the Evergreen State. Jesse's passion for restoring and revitalizing old properties is contagious. Whether he's turning a forgotten motor inn into a boutique roadside stop or transforming a historic haunted hotel in Wyoming, he's all about preserving history while giving it a modern twist. His latest purchase, the Virginian Hotel, comes with a rich history—and a few friendly ghosts, according to Jesse! What's Next for JET Hospitality? So, what's next for Jesse and his team? Plenty. JET Hospitality is diving into new territory with its "motor inn" concept, refreshing old roadside motels and adding modern touches like electric vehicle charging stations and on-site coffee trucks. The idea is to compete with major hotel brands while offering something that feels more personal and unique. Jesse says they're not afraid to tackle projects others might shy away from, making JET Hospitality's portfolio so exciting. Connect With Jet Hospitality

The Climate Commitment Act's focus on environmental justice may be complicating efforts to link Washington state's carbon market with the California-Quebec carbon market, a move supporters say will ensure the durability of the cap-and-trade program in the Evergreen State. California and Quebec have expressed interest in linking to Washington's carbon market. “Linking California's, Quebec's and Washington's carbon markets would enable deeper and faster cuts in climate pollution while creating a more stable, predictable market for all,” said Katelyn Roedner Sutter, the Environmental Defense Fund's California director. “Three major climate leaders joining forces would create a huge momentum boost for climate action.” One factor complicating linkage efforts is the requirement that CCA funding go to individuals from communities facing environmental harm or health impacts and the organizations serving those communities in what is termed “environmental justice.”

On todays show we have a hum dinger. Sarah Breaks down the event of Evergreen State college in Olympia Washington. The discussion centers on the controversial events at the College, particularly the 2017 Day of Absence incident. The college, known for its liberal arts focus, faced significant unrest after a 2015 shooting involving police and two black suspects. This led to increased activism, with students demanding changes in curriculum and campus policies. Key figures include Bret Weinstein, who opposed the Day of Absence, and Naima Love, a media professor involved in student protests. The conversation highlights the college's shift towards student-led activism, the administration's response, and the broader implications for higher education and societal issues. This one is a log one but so Worth it!

In many respects, when people think of Seattle, what comes to mind is progressive politics, homelessness and tent cities and protesters taking over city blocks to create police-free 'autonomous zones. Turns out that didn't work so out so well after all.But we're called to seek the welfare of our city where God has placed us (Jer 29:7) and for Brian Noble, Seattle and the state of Washington is that place.As a former pastor and now head honcho at the Family Policy Institute of Washington, Brian knows what it's like to face a legislature that is just shy of holding a super-majority against all that our movement stands for. But he hasn't let that reality stop him and his team from setting very specific and purposeful goals to transform the Evergreen State into a place where God is honored and Biblical values are lifted up high.  It's my blessing to chat with my friend and colleague today on I'm Glad you Said That.Support the Show.

Gary Strassburg is a veteran, hunter, family man, and Washington resident who was troubled by what he was seeing taking place with the hunting community in the Evergreen State. He is the perfect example of when a citizen decides to get engaged and take action. In this episode, Gary and I discuss the events that led him to participating in wildlife commission meetings and taking action with the newly formed Conservation Coalition of Washington. We discuss a framework of solutions to change the tide of anti-hunting sentiment, hunter engagement, and messaging to the American non-hunter that shines a positive light on the hunting community.  Gary on Instagram Cougar/Bear Petition Article Show Sponsors!

This week, I bring in members of the newly formed Conservation Coalition of Washington; Mike Herz, Josh Caple, Kelsey Haller, and Cory Maxwell.  We discuss the current state of commissioners of the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. The panel has a lot of inside information as to which commissioners are on the side of hunting and conservation, and which ones aren't. We break down each commissioner, discuss many of the hurdles in the way of hunting in Washington, future proposals, and much more. If you're a sportsman in Washington, these conversations are growing ever more important. Many of the current commissioners in the WDFW are openly hostile towards hunting, and by default, conservation. This puts Washington hunters, anglers, and the wildlife that call Washington home at risk.  I would love feedback on this episode, especially ideas on how to spread the message to a broader audience: jim@thewesternhuntsman.com Show Sponsors!

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023. Isn’t it about time to take action on how you're going to give your children and grandchildren a good music education? Moses, David, and all the Saints of the church have worshiped God with musical might, so let’s be confidently found doing the same. Bohnet Music Academy instructs children and adults in how to be musically literate. That’s everything you need to know and do as the musician God made you to be. Lessons are available locally in Moscow, ID and online. What’s great is that in addition to getting vocal training, you can also study the piano, guitar, violin, cello, drums, or the trumpet. Visit Bohnetma.com/crosspolitic for more information on how to equip your family to serve God’s musical commands.

And the federal government was no exception. But now, post-pandemic, taxpayers are on the hook for billions to fund federal offices that are sitting mostly empty, a new report reveals. Earlier this month the Government Accountability Office published a report examining the utilization of current federal workspaces, as John Kartch explains for Americans for Tax Reform, and its results were remarkable. As Kartch notes, the report found that all 24 federal agencies’ headquarters are “vastly underutilized” with most headquarters under 25% capacity and several below 10% capacity. That’s right: Many federal offices are 75% or even 90% empty. These include the Department of Agriculture, Department of Education, Department of Transportation, Small Business Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, and more cabinet-level agencies. Why does this matter? Well, as Kartch writes, “Taxpayers pay for air conditioning, heating, maintenance, and security for agency buildings at a cost of billions per year, while the same agencies lecture Americans about ‘climate’ and the type of stove you have in your home.” This isn’t cheap. The GAO report notes that “The federal government owns 511 million square feet of office space, costing billions annually to operate and maintain.” That’s money out of our pockets. https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2023/07/30/report-california-loses-nearly-350-million-to-migration-out-of-state/ California Loses Nearly $350 Million to Migration Out-of-State The State of California lost nearly $350 million in tax revenues in 2021 due to migration out of the state — a worrisome figure as the state contemplates a new deficit of $32 billion this year. The real estate website MyEListing.com reported: California ranks first among states experiencing the worst net negative tax income migration. With a staggering net loss of $343.2 million, the Golden State is witnessing an outflow of high-income earners. Despite its numerous attractions, from the booming tech industry and world-class universities to beautiful landscapes and cultural richness, California’s high personal income tax rates seem discouraging for many high-wealth individuals. This, coupled with the state’s high cost of living, will likely fuel a wealth migration out of California. These trends affect the state’s economy, especially the real estate and job markets. The departure of high-income earners can decrease demand for luxury real estate and potentially affect the commercial real estate sector. It also impacts job creation, as these high-income individuals often play a significant role in business expansion and entrepreneurial activities. New York was second, losing $299.6 million; and Illinois was third, with a net loss of $141.7 million. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has focused on attacking conservative states like Florida, but he is losing residents — and tax revenues to those states. MyEListing.com notes that Florida and Texas led all other states in “positive tax migration.” Arizona, currently governed by Democrats, was third. Newsom enjoyed a budget surplus of nearly $100 billion last year, buoyed in part by federal coronavirus funds that were signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2021. https://thepostmillennial.com/private-school-enrollment-jumps-25-percent-in-washington-as-exodus-from-public-schools-continues?utm_campaign=64487 Private school enrollment jumps 25 percent in Washington as exodus from public schools continues Washington private schools saw a 25 percent jump in enrollment over the last three years and homeschooling saw a 42 percent increase as public school enrollment continued to fall. According to the State Board of Education, in 2019-20, there were 65,270 students enrolled in K-12 private schools in the state. By 2022-23, that number had spiked to 81,434 students. Additionally, the number of students that are homeschooled also increased from 20,844 in 2019-20 to 29,798 in 2022-23. According to Liv Finne at the Washington Policy Center, “The numbers show that over 110,000 parents in Washington state have decided that enrolling in controversial public schools is not the best option for their children.” A nationwide data analysis performed by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), the nation’s “report card,” showed that only 35 percent of Washington's 4th graders are proficient in math with 74 percent testing at a basic level for the 2022-23 school year. The numbers got worse the older the students got with only 28 percent of 8th graders showing proficiency in math and 64 percent showing only a basic knowledge of the material. The analysis also revealed that students in the Evergreen State lost over five months (-0.65 grade equivalents) of learning in math, while in Washington's largest district Seattle Public Schools, students were down four and a half months of learning (-0.50 grade equivalent). Democrat Governor Jay Inslee, State Superintendent Chris Reykdal, and teachers’ unions kept public schools shuttered for in-person learning for more than a year in their response to COVID. Public schools did not welcome back students until the fall of 2021 and were regularly closed for “outbreaks.” By comparison, private schools reopened a year earlier in the fall of 2020. Rather than deal with the learning loss which was already evident just a few months into online learning, in May 2021, Inslee signed SB 5044 to force Critical Race Theory (CRT), including hyper-sexualized gender theory into the classrooms and universities. Additionally, many schools have begun removing higher-level learning programs including advanced placement courses for more advanced students. Adding to the many reasons parents are pulling their children is violence in the schools after districts like Seattle and Bellevue banned police officers from campuses. Washington public schools are getting more desperate for enrollment, as student counts are tied to federal dollars, and have been running ads in various markets trying to get students to return. Due to the massive loss of students, some districts including Seattle and Bellevue have already announced that some schools will be closed. Now for my favorite topic… sports! https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2023/07/31/report-canadian-non-binary-rugby-player-accused-of-injuring-women-was-named-hardest-hitter-on-mens-team/ Canadian ‘Non-Binary’ Rugby Player Accused of Injuring Women was Named ‘Hardest Hitter’ on Men’s Team A “non-binary” rugby player accused of injuring women in a match was previously named “hardest hitter” when serving on the men’s team, new evidence shows. Last June, the “non-binary” player was removed from a women’s rugby match after he injured three competitors. After the identity of the player remained unknown, it has now been revealed. Per Reduxx: The identity of the man involved in the incident has now been confirmed as Ash Davis, who previously played in the men’s division of the club and had been awarded the “hardest hitter” designation during the Senior Awards Banquet just last year. According to a source within the rugby club, there has been ‘much opposition’ to Davis’ participation in the women’s category, but club members are concerned about speaking up out of “fear of being labeled transphobic.” The source also explained that ‘many people have known Ash for years, making it more sensitive.’ Marshi Smith, the co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS), told Reduxx that the rugby club did not care about the safety of the women players. “Young women are being forced to jeopardize their physical safety to satisfy the desires of a man, Ash Davis, in Canadian rugby,” Smith said. Despite opposition within the rugby club, leaders like club President Jane Kirby are willing to risk the health and safety of young female players, prioritizing men’s preferences over ethical concerns and the potential for life-threatening injuries or death. This policy of sacrificing girls’ and women’s well-being for men’s eligibility preferences is unethical and perilous,” Smith added.
