Today I signed an Executive Order launching the Governor's Economic Development Council, a historic convening of top leaders from around Washington state to help guide the next chapter of economic prosperity for our state.
This is the first such body in two decades — since Governor Christine Gregoire’s Global Competitiveness Council in 2006.
