County Executive Jack Louws, Mayor Kelli Linville, and Port Director Rob Fix recently spent a day in Olympia meeting with all members of the 40th and 42nd Legislative District.
They've also hired a firm to represent local issues during this two-year budget writing legislative session.
Louws says the three local governments have a list of priorities that they want done in Olympia, including protecting toxic cleanup funds and paying for a fourth superior court judge for Whatcom County.
He says legislators have made it clear that they appreciate the efforts to bring forward one set of priorities.
