Our Mission
Welcome to Progress Washington! This is a website devoted to engaging the voters of Washington State in an open dialogue concerning the politics and issues that concern us most. Ultimately, our goal is to act as a resource, providing vital information towards understanding state and local politics, whilst providing our own commentary on the latest news and stories.
Contrary to popular belief, federal politics, while it is the most covered topic in the news, is really the least important in our daily lives. The issues that matter most are the ones faced by our state and local politicians, not the federal government. Understanding the issues and knowing how our state government functions is essential if voters are to make the right decisions.
The writing staff here at Progress Washington makes no secret of our political leanings. While we are not affiliated with any political party, we are all self-described liberals. As such, we tend to sympathize far more with the Democratic Party. However, let us be clear, our ultimate bias is to lean as far away from bullshit as possible. All politicians will try to peddle bad ideas, lies, and strange ideology in one form or another, and it is our mission to muck out the crap which is clogging political dialogue in this state.
And so, from the capital of our great state, we are proud to present the online community with Progress Washington.
