In 2017, Governor Jay Inslee issued Executive Order 17-01, reaffirming that “the state of Washington shall remain a welcoming jurisdiction that embraces diversity with compassion and tolerance and recognizes the value of immigrants” (Inslee 2017). In 2019, the Legislature adopted SB 5497, also known as the Keep Washington Working Act (KWW). In enacting the law, the Legislature held that Washington “has a substantial and compelling interest in ensuring the state of Washington remains a place where the rights and dignity of all residents are maintained and protected (SB 5497).”
This study examines the role of state and local governments and civil society in carrying out the intent of the Executive Order and KWW, as well as the more than 75 other laws enacted in the past 15 years to help immigrants statewide. In addition to identifying state and local legislation, the study examines other policies, practices, and court cases that address the barriers immigrants face. It also looks at the role of civil society in advocating for legislative and policy changes on behalf of immigrants, as well the role of immigrants themselves in these efforts.
