There Are No Easy Fixes for Declining Statehouse Coverage
Editor's Note: This article appears in Governing's Summer 2024 magazine. You can subscribe here. The destruction of the White House to make room for the expansion of legislative office buildings would certainly make news, if not trigger a constitutional crisis. In the other Washington, not so much. In Olympia, the White House and adjoining Blue House were the nicknames for 1920s-era buildings on the Capitol campus that housed the press corps.

Charley Royer, Seattle’s longest serving mayor, dies at 84
Charles “Charley” Royer, who served as Seattle’s mayor from 1978-1990, died Friday morning at his home in Gearhart, Oregon. Royer was born in Oregon, where he studied journalism at the University of Oregon. He worked at KOIN in Portland, and later KING in Seattle, where he worked closely with his brother Bob, who died before him. According to a statement released on Friday evening, he was co-chair of Friends of the Seattle Waterfront Committee and a former chairman and member of the Ballpark Public Facilities District. “As the 48th mayor of Seattle, he accrued multiple accomplishments over his 12 years leading the city, tackling a number of issues ranging from healthcare, housing and poverty. His accomplishments included gaining public support for precedent-setting low-income housing ballot measures in 1981 (the Senior Housing Bond) and in 1986 (the Low-Income Multi-family Levy). This established an ongoing city commitment to putting forward low-income housing measures to the Seattle public, offered and renewed by every mayor since 1990.”
