Jay Inslee reflects on 12 years as Washington governor

After 12 years in office, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s last day in office is today.

First elected in 2012 after serving in the House in both D.C. and Olympia, Inslee was only the second Washington governor after Republican Dan Evans (who served 1965-1977) elected to a trio of consecutive four-year terms. 

Washington’s politics – and national politics – have changed in the decade since Inslee took the state’s top job.

Cascade PBS sat down with Inslee recently to reflect on his time as governor, including COVID, housing and the incoming second administration of President-elect Donald Trump.
