Lawmakers return to Olympia. Here's how to reach them this session.

The 2023 session of Washington’s Legislature begins Monday in Olympia. It is scheduled to last 105 days.

After a pandemic-driven two-year time out, the 147 lawmakers will conduct this one in person.

Committee hearings will be on campus with an option for folks to testify remotely. Floor sessions should be back to normal though a minimal number of lawmakers may work from home if they get sick. Access to galleries won’t be limited to a few vaccinated souls as it was last session.

Messages can also be left for any lawmaker at the Legislative Hotline, 800-562-6000. The hotline is a place to check the progress of bills and learn when hearings or legislative action are planned. You can sign up to receive emails of upcoming committee meetings, press releases from agencies and other legislative events. More information can be found on the Legislature website at leg.wa.gov.
