Washington: Liquor measure passes, toll measure defeated
Statewide ballot initiatives garnered the most attention in a campaign season dominated by local races. Costco-backed Initiative 1183, a ballot measure to loosen state liquor rules, passed Nov. 8, and liquor sales should start at the Issaquah-based warehouse giant and other retailers in June. Initiative 1125 ”” a measure to require the Legislature to approve tolls rather than the appointed state Transportation Commission ”” came up short on Election Day.
