Seattle, Washington: Members of Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (in white coats) wait at a celebration of Washington State’s clean energy future where Governor and 2020 presidential candidate Jay Inslee will sign the nation’s strongest clean energy bill. The legislation, introduced by the governor in December, includes a 100 percent clean energy bill, a first-in-the-nation clean buildings policy, a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and incentives to electrify transportation. Inslee has centered his presidential campaign around climate change and environmental issues. The event was held in the Rainier Vista neighborhood that was redeveloped in 2010 as a sustainable mixed-income community in Seattle’s Columbia City.
