OLYMPIA — Lawmakers in Washington state have started a new legislative session amid the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and much of their work will be done remotely as leaders try to limit the possibility of exposure.
Since Friday, four Democratic senators — Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig and Sens. John Lovick, Mark Mullet and Yasmin Trudeau — have tested positive for the coronavirus. Billig said he had no symptoms and Lovick described his symptoms as mild. Mullet — who said he didn't have any symptoms — tested positive Monday after a test at the Capitol, and said he would work remotely the rest of the week. All four were fully vaccinated and Billig, Lovick and Mullet also received a booster. Trudeau had been set to receive her booster next week.
