For over 100 years, the League of Women Voters has been an influential voice on issues such as election reform, ethics in leadership, transportation, education, land use, civil rights and more. All League action is based upon our public policy positions, which are developed through consensus discussions by members, after a thorough study of the issues. Studies may be conducted at the local, state, and/or national level. Read our Seattle-King County positions. Last revised in 2022; readopted in 2024.
The positions found in the Washington State Program in Action 2024-2025 form the basis for action on statewide legislation and policy-making and may also be used to support local action.
The LWVUS policy positions found in Impact on Issues are the basis for action on national legislation and policy-making and may also be used to support local and state action.
Each year, the state League sets priorities for action during the legislative session in Olympia. The current legislative issues are published in early December. Team members then follow bills relating to the priorities. To follow the action, sign up for the legislative newsletter - a weekly email with a rundown on the bills being followed by the team members. To find out how to be a part of the State League's Lobby Team, contact the League of Women Voters of Washington at (206) 622-8961 or info@lwvwa.org. You can see the 2024 Legislative Issues and Updates here.
The League of Women Voters of Seattle-King County regularly communicates positions on public issues through letters and testimony to elected officials. Letters and testimony are available for review at our Seattle office.
We're fighting for a healthy climate, education, economic and social justice, voting rights and so much more. Your generous gifts make it possible.
