Tux and gown alert: Washington will have an inaugural ball after all
Washington’s Inaugural Ball is back on.
The Thurston County Chamber announced Thursday it will throw the bash on Jan. 15, 2025 at the state Capitol.
“We’re endeavoring to have a real nice party to celebrate Washington’s transition in the governor’s office, the Legislature and the [Supreme Court] justices,” said David Schaffert, the chamber’s chief executive officer.
This will be the first ball in eight years as the 2021 fete got canceled due to the COVID pandemic.
