Re: Activation of Washington National Guard assets to support public safety activities related to the 2024 Elections.
Dear Major General Welsh:
Based upon general and specific information and concerns regarding the potential for violence or other unlawful activity related to the 2024 general election, I want to ensure we are fully prepared to respond to any potential additional civil unrest of the type described in RCW 38.08.040 occurring within Washington State leading up to, on, and potentially extending beyond November 5, 2024, the date of the 2024 general election.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned that threats to election infrastructure during the 2024 election cycle remains high. The southwest region of Washington state has already experienced specific instances of election-related unrest. On October 28, 2024, an incendiary device was set off in a drop box in Vancouver, Washington, damaging or destroying hundreds of ballots, and a similar device targeted a ballot box in Portland, Oregon.
In response to the situation described above and the potential for further violence and illegal activity, I am directing the Washington National Guard (WANG) to prepare to provide critical public safety support by activating necessary Washington National Guard personnel in a standby status. In this role, the WANG will support local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol as needed. Our state depends on these skilled individuals for critical support to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, to include support necessary to protect vital infrastructure related to carrying out free and fair elections and to respond to any unrest related to the 2024 general election.
Preparation to respond to civil unrest of the type already experienced will also require state level coordination and the activation of additional support functions within Washington’s Emergency Management System.
Under RCW 38.08.040, I am authorized to order the Washington National Guard, or any part thereof, into active service of the State to perform such duty as I deem proper when required for the public health, safety, or welfare and to prepare for events described in RCW 38.08.040. I find that such preparation, and this activation of the Washington National Guard, is required now for the protection of the public health, safety, or welfare of Washington State agencies and the people they serve.
Therefore, I, Jay Inslee, Governor of the state of Washington, pursuant to RCW 38.08.040 and in response to the above-referenced request, and believing such action is necessary for preserving public health, safety and welfare, order into temporary active state service for up to four days, beginning Monday, November 4, 2024, as many members of the Washington National Guard as may be necessary and deemed appropriate for the circumstances described above in the opinion of The Adjutant General of the Washington State Military Department to support public safety efforts related to the 2024 elections, as well as activation of support functions within Washington’s Emergency Management System.
This order of activation expires at 12:01 a.m. on November 8, 2024.
Very truly yours,
Jay Inslee
Governor
Seems odd considering WA elections have been stolen for at least a couple decades by the Dems. Are they worried about stealing it again this year? They've been putting laws in place to prevent people from even looking into potential fraud and unless you have a lot of money to challenge them they just use residents own tax money against them; so corrupt. To make matters worse, they are on the verge of controlling the House and Senate with supermajorities in WA so they can shove any crap that they want down our throats. I'm hoping Trump wins and comes into these corrupt states and dives deeply into the corruptness using the power of the federal government.
Remember how Patty Murray originally got installed? (And WA hasn't had a GOP Senator since.)
A proto-Me-Too operation against Sen. Brock Adams, that just happened to be timed to coincide with the rise of the Clintons in POTUS politics (1991-1992).
And the "victim" was legally represented by the lesbian who later was installed as Seattle's mayor (Jenny Durkan).

Who is Jenny Durkan

Who wouldn't "marry" her partner, because if they'd done so, the partner's tens of millions of personal fortune would be subject to public sunshine.
And remember who was the "victim" in the anti-Adams operation? A female (whose family was a long time friend of Adams, and she went to visit him alone at night while his wife was away)...who went on to marry the guy who presided over the chaos at Evergreen State in 2017. (George Bridges, former head of the Mary Gates Foundation at UW-Seattle. Yes, Bill Gates's mom's named foundation.)
Pugetopolis politics operates under such a bell jar, it's a wonder oxygen still finds its way there.
