House approves legislation to modernize WA’s recycling system
By Brett Davis The Center Square
The Washington State House of Representatives has approved a bill designed to modernize the state’s recycling system by shifting responsibility to producers to ensure a more efficient and sustainable approach to solid waste management. But not everyone is on board.
Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5284, known as the Recycling Reform Act, passed the House Monday on a 51-45 vote. It aims to improve solid waste management by establishing a statewide recycling program and implementing extended producer responsibility for consumer packaging and paper products. This means manufacturers and brands would be responsible for funding and managing the recycling of their packaging, shifting costs from consumers to producers.
Other provisions of the bill include increased access to recycling across Washington, where currently 58% of jurisdictions provide access to curbside recycling; 11 counties have no curbside
recycling at all.
The bill was amended in the House. That means it now goes back to the Senate for a concurrence vote before it can be signed into law by the governor.
“The passage of this bill represents a historic step forward for our state to a cleaner, more accessible, and more sustainable recycling system,” Sen. Liz Lovelett, DAnacortes, the bill’s prime sponsor, said in a news release. “Today we are all celebrating progress to reduce pollution, improve recycling rates, and divert materials away from landfills.”
Not everyone is celebrating what would be a major overhaul of the state's recycling system bankrolled by companies that make single-use packaging.
That includes Brad Lovaas, executive director of the Washington Refuse & Recycling Association, a statewide trade association representing the solid waste and recycling industry in Washington.
“As the solid waste and recycling companies proudly partnering with Washingtonians to achieve a recycling rate of 49%-50% above the national average, we are
disappointed that the Legislature is moving forward to toss aside our state’s affordable, effective and local recycling system in favor of an expensive, unproven approach run by multinational packaging companies,” Lovaas said in a statement emailed to The Center Square.” He went on to say, “We continue to believe that our state should conduct a Needs Assessment before prescribing a massive investment while short on data and results in the United States. As proposed in this legislation, the cost of common grocery items will go up at a time of already record inflation as the packaging companies pass on their higher costs to consumers.”
If the bill becomes law, Washington will become the seventh state to adopt laws establishing extended producer responsibility, or EPR, for the packaging, joining Maine, Oregon, California, Colorado, Maryland and Minnesota.
EPR programs are designed to ensure producers take responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of packaging. Under the legislation, EPR would be fully implemented in the state by 2030.
WA Senate votes to set a 10% limit on annual rent increases
By Brett Davis The Center Square
The Washington State Senate recently approved a 10% cap plus the consumer price index on annual rent increases, drastically changing a House of Representatives version of the bill that had a 7% cap.
Following more than 90 minutes of floor debate, Engrossed House Bill 1217 passed on a 29-20 vote.
Sen. Sharon Shewmake, D-Bellingham, sponsored the amendment to increase the rent cap to 10%.
The amendment narrowly passed, 25-24.
EHB 1217, one of the most controversial pieces of legislation introduced this session, now heads back
to the House for approval of the changes made by the Senate.
Assuming the House concurs with the Senate-passed version of
the bill, it will then go to Gov. Bob Ferguson’s desk for his signature into law.
This is a developing story.

Biscotti are a dunkable delicacy
By MetroCreative
Cookies are a treat any time of the day, and many find biscotti particularly appealing. These crunchy cookies are equally at home with a morning cup of coffee as they are with an evening mug of hot cocoa.
Biscotti are hard, crunchy, Italian cookies that are baked twice. In fact, their name comes from the Latin “bis,” meaning “twice,” and “coctus,” meaning “cooked.” Although they can be enjoyed on their own, their dry, crunchy nature makes them hold up well when dunked into a beverage. Biscotti were even once commonly dipped into red wine. Though they might seem complicated, biscotti generally are easy to make. Try this recipe for “Semolina and Almond Biscotti” from “Butter, Flour, Sugar, Joy” (Sourcebooks) by Danielle Kartes.
SEMOLINA AND ALMOND BISCOTTI
Yields 12 to 16 cookies
■ 1 cup sugar
■ 1 2 cup melted butter
■ 3 eggs
■ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
■ 1 pinch salt
■ 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
■ 1 cup sliced almonds
■ 1/2 cup semolina flour
■ 1 teaspoon baking powder
■ Optional: 10 ounces dark chocolate to melt for dipping
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream the sugar, butter and eggs until light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the vanilla and salt. Mix to incorporate. Add the all-purpose flour, almonds, semolina flour, and baking powder. Mix until well
Carol Joan Doherty-Horton passed away March 23, 2025 of natural causes. She was 96. She was born in Riverside California Aug 21, 1928. Carol was an extremely active and social person and participated in activities like tennis and golf most of her life. At the age of 94 she took up knitting. She was an avid gardener and very active in the Church of the Ascension in Magnolia. Carol distinguished herself as a Gray Lady volunteer for the Red Cross for 52 years in Japan (working with returning military casualties from Korea), and in Germany and Seattle.
Among her many talents Carol also was an accomplished violinist in her youth and attained the title of Concert Mistress throughout her career.
combined, but don’t overmix.
Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat gently to form one long loaf of dough roughly 14 to 16 inches long and 5 to 6 inches wide. Bake 30 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool 5 to 6 minutes before using a long knife to cut the loaf gently into 12 to 16 cookies.
Lay each cookie on its side and bake another 20 minutes, flipping the cookies midway through.
Cool completely to achieve that signature crunch. The centers will be a bit soft if eaten warm. These are perfect for dunking in coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Optional: Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts and gently dip half of each biscotti into it lengthwise. Flip the biscotti chocolate-side-up onto a sheet tray and allow the chocolate to set.

Joan Horton 1928 – 2025
She also enjoyed the theatre and symphony.
She was preceded in death in 1983 by her husband of 30 years, Major Murray E. Horton, Ret.
She is survived by sons Michael of Chatsworth, CA, Gary of Victor, CO, and daughter Hollie Sanders of Kent, WA. She also is survived by
most stressful times in his life. And it was immediately followed by one of the most exciting times of his life. Then he took a moment to breathe and realized, “The work is just beginning, can’t really relax!”
As a coveted fifth-round draft pick, he and his young family moved to a townhome in Renton and quickly came to love not only the Seahawks, but the fresh air, surrounding nature, city life, and the great people of Seattle.
“The Pacific Northwest is beautiful,” he said, and a sharp contrast with the industrial feel and sulfur smell of Pittsburgh, “it’s so green here and the air is so fresh and so crisp.”
In addition to clean air, Jefferson found wonderful role models and a great team culture. “There’s no other experience like that,” he said.
Originally, he was intimidated to play with a superstar like Michael Bennett. But he soon found that not only did they share the
5 grandchldren and 8 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers please direct any donations to the Church of the Ascension, 2330 Viewmont Way, Seattle 98199.
A memorial service will be held at the Church of Ascension in Magnolia on Wednesday, June 4 at 1PM.
same position, they shared the same values. Bennett became a mentor and taught Jefferson how to be a professional.
“Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to play for 9-10 years and still be a dad, a husband, and have time for my family,” Jefferson said.
Jefferson considers himself lucky to have been able to find a culture like the one Pete Carroll built here in Seattle.
“He’s a coach that understands culture. He brings it to the essence with music and guests and fun,” Jefferson said.
He said that Pete Carroll is a great guy, with no ego, just respect... and energy.
This week, while Jefferson is considering what the future may hold for his football career, he’ll also keep his eyes on the Seahawks and Pete Carroll out in Las Vegas to see what they will do in the draft. He says they don’t call football a young man’s game for nothing.
But if the culture, location, and finances are right, he’d be happy to play his tenth season in the NFL. But he says won’t be as stressed waiting for this draft, he has a lot of important things to keep him busy here in Seattle.
In addition to the rigor of his offseason workout regimen, he looks forward to watching and coaching his four kids play softball, basketball, and of course football. He also has other big ventures in the works.
“I’ve always been a creative person who just happens to be good at football,” he said. When he met a fellow creative spirit at the gym, they continued to stay in touch and develop their working relationship.
Nick Beeba grew up
in Magnolia and met Jefferson during his first season for the Seahawks.
“We have a lot in common,” Beeba said. The two share a passion for telling the stories of people that often go unheard and decided to launch their own creative venture: Nomad Studios. Starting with their friends and teammates, they also work to elevate the stories of vintage shops, businesses, and local restaurants. “We believe in the power of storytelling to help people reach their dreams.”
“The path to follow your dreams is not always linear,” Beeba said. He considers Jefferson one of the most fashionable figures in the NFL but says first and foremost, “Q is an amazing human being and friend with a big heart. He’s a creative visionary who breathes life and support to all of his friends and family!” Beeba looks forward to helping Jefferson reveal more of his personal story. He said it’s a powerful story of the man who knows where he came from and chose to make our beautiful city his home. Their “nomad” name came from Jefferson’s work throughout the NFL and the country.
“This game keeps moving, it does not always love you back,” Jefferson said. And if he were to offer any advice to young players, he’d say, “Make sure you have a good foundation of people around you. It’s not if, but when, you hit adversity, your people keep you going strong.”
Our Queen Anne readers can watch for Jefferson in the neighborhood and hopefully playing with a team that we know and love in the fall. Until then, fans can hear the stories and check out the merchandise at www.memoirsofanomad. com.
