OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Lawmakers in Washington state will return to Olympia on Monday to address housing, climate change and the fentanyl crisis in an abbreviated legislative session that marks Jay Inslee’s final one as governor.

During a session preview this week, the Democratic governor described climate as the biggest long-term issue he wants to address this session. He referenced his six grandchildren and his fear about what the environment will look like when they’re his age.

“I am going to do everything I can in the next 60 days to make sure we have a brighter vision for everybody’s grandkids,” he said.
