A Successful 2023 Washington REALTORS® Legislative Day

Washington Realtors® met with Legislators January 19th to seek support for bills that increase housing supply and protect consumers. I lead meetings with 4 Legislators or their staff in the 30th and 47th districts, and with our explanations of personal experiences, we were able to help Legislators understand the importance of the proposed legislation!

After our first meeting; such a great group to represent the 30th district!

Our second meeting.

The Capitol building and campus were full of our blue “Welcome Home” scarves all afternoon. As we approached staff to check-in, we were told “we can see you’re Realtors!”
