Provide Financial Relief to Washington Families

We're advocating for the passage of SB 5947, a bill to increase the personal property exemption, in the Washington State legislature.

Currently, NWCLC, gives our state a "C" grade for protecting the personal property of working families. If passed, SB 5947 would increase the exemption.
