“Climate change is the paramount challenge for our generation, and we must act. King County has taken strong steps – expanding transit, saving energy in our buildings and facilities, and working with cities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a state, we must go even further. Gov. Inslee’s Clean Air Rule helps fulfill our state’s climate goals using existing regulatory tools.
