Partisan interests are misleading voters about this year's judicial races. Judge Dave Larson (ret) puts the attacks into perspective & sets the record straight.

🌲 𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗢𝗡'𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦: 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗦!

Did you know some of Washington's public forests help pay for schools, roads, fire departments, libraries and other essential services?

They're called 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦.

The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages millions of acres of these lands, generating revenue through timber harvesting, agricultural leases and other activities.

The money supports designated public beneficiaries, including schools and local governments.

🌲 𝗦𝗢 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗢𝗪?

DNR is requesting $30 MILLION from the Legislature for its 2027-2029 Trust Land Transfer program.

This program allows certain trust lands to be transferred for conservation or other public purposes, with funding used to compensate the trusts and support replacement investments.

One proposed transfer involves land near Dabob Bay in Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥?

Washington's forests serve several important purposes:

🌲 Supporting timber and forestry-related jobs.
🏫 Generating revenue for schools and public services.
🚒 Helping fund local services in counties that benefit from State Forest trust lands.
🦌 Protecting wildlife habitat, clean water and recreational opportunities.

These goals can sometimes compete, making decisions about forest management especially important.

𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘'𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡:

When Washington changes how public trust lands are managed, how do we ensure that rural communities, local services and future generations are all considered?

The Legislature elected this November will help determine funding for the proposed transfers and future natural-resource priorities.

📬 As ballots arrive, take time to learn where candidates stand on sustainable timber production, conservation and protecting revenue for public services.

💬 𝗪𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗬𝗢𝗨!

How should Washington balance timber jobs, conservation and funding for local communities?
