State initiatives
Initiative measure No. 2066, the natural gas initiative, was the only state measure to pass this election. Statewide results showed 51.7 percent (1,932,446) of Washingtonians approved the measure, while 48.3 percent (1,805,880) did not. The measure will repeal or prohibit certain
laws and regulations that discourage natural gas use and/or promote electrification and require certain utilities and local governments to provide natural gas to eligible customers.
Initiative measure No. 2109, or the excise tax repeal, failed by a large margin with only 35.9 percent (1,358,669) voters in support and 64.1 percent (2,427,027) against. The measure would have repealed an excise tax imposed on the sale or exchange of certain long-term capital assets by individuals who have annual capital gains of over $250,000. As a result, it would have decreased funding for K-12

Initiative measure No. 2117, the carbon tax measure, also largely failed with only 38 percent (1,430,463) of support and 62 percent (2,330,949) against. The measure would have prohibited state agencies from imposing carbon tax credit trading and repealed legislation establishing a cap-and-invest program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This would have resulted in decreased funding for investments in transportation, clean air, renewable energy, conservation and emissions-reduction.
