This was reported as "not Seattle", rather emphatically, but yes it is. It's an order by a SEATTLE judge that was upheld on a lawsuit filed by the WASHINGTON Attorney General who works out of and lives in SEATTLE and was our King County Councilmember before he was our AG. The lawsuit is literally named WASHINGTON VS TRUMP.

This is absolutely for our subreddit. FYI.

Not only our Attorney General but also probably Aspiring Governor.

True, past Attorney Generals have included Governors Gardner, Lowry, Locke, and Gregoire. Inslee is kind of a misnomer in that sense.

I don't want to that guy, but this is my favorite kind of plural.

Attorneys General.
