Yesterday Washingtonians headed to the ballot box. Among the multiple local and county measures and races, Washingtonians voted on three statewide initiatives.

Passed- Privitization of Liquor
Initiative 1183 closes state liquor stores and sell their assets, including the liquor-distribution center. The initiative allows private stores to sell liquor and create licensing fees for sale and distribution of liquor based on sales and revenues.

Too Close to Call (Oppose 51%; Support 48%) – Washington Tolls
Initiative 1125 would require the Legislature, not the state Transportation Commission, to set tolls, and mandate that a toll on a particular road or bridge be used only for construction, operation or maintenance of that project.

Passed – Background Checks and Training for Long Term Care Workers
Initiative 1163 would require background checks and training for long-term care workers and providers.
