Transpo measure passes the House

OLYMPIA (AP) — The state House of Representatives has approved a compromise $7.6 billion transportation package that will keep the state ferries moving, the State Patrol on the road and continue road- and bridge-repair projects into the next fiscal year.

The current projects transportation budget will now go to the Senate for a vote before the special session ends Thursday.

Lawmakers are expected to take up a handful of bills in the next few days that appear to have the votes to pass both the Republican-controlled Senate and the Democrat-controlled House.

Bills that are not approved by the end of the special session will need to go back through some of the process when lawmakers when lawmakers begin a second special session, likely on Friday.
