Washington state ‘increasingly at risk’ for rolling blackouts
By TJ Martinell
The Center Square
A proposed battery energy storage system under consideration in Skagit County by the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council would, if ultimately approved by Gov. Jay Inslee, be able to provide 200,000 homes with electricity for up to four hours.
It’s a facility that Washington residents might need if the state is unable to meet future energy demands, which the company behind the project warns is growing more likely.
Tenaska is an independent
power company based out of the Midwest and behind the proposed $250 million BESS, which would store excess electricity generated by the grid for later use. In an Aug. 13 presentation to EFSEC, company officials cautioned that “the region is increasingly at risk for rolling blackouts and brownouts,” which it blames in part to “aging transmission infrastructure that cannot meet current or projected demand.”
However, the presentation also noted that “data centers in the PNW, which are notorious for high energy use, are expected to more than double
their electricity use in the coming years.”
Another contributor is the state’s transportation electrification efforts, with a ban on new fossil fuel vehicles taking effect in 2030. Currently, there are roughly 90,200 battery electric vehicles registered in Washington. Last year, lightduty electric vehicles consumed about 309,000 megawatt hours of electricity.
The dilemma facing Washington is twofold. The first is that its energy grid will require an additional

Washington ferry workers union wants better pay for below-deck employees
By Carleen Johnson The Center Square
Hundreds of Washington state ferry workers are calling for higher pay and better staffing.
The Marine Engineer Beneficial Association, or MEBA, is the union that represents engine room employees. MEBA contends other decklevel ferry worker unions have been given bigger raises in the last year.
The union argues below-deck workers are equally critical to the system and deserve better pay, insisting on raises of up to 20%.
MEBA is currently bargaining with the state Office of Financial Management, which according to an OFM email sent to The Center Square, is also bargaining with, “approximately 30 other groups of represented state workers.”
The email goes on to say, "Because bargaining is ongoing, we are not able to comment on specifics, but we continue to have confidence in the bargaining process and that we will come to a successful resolution with the parties."
Any tentative ferry agreement will be submitted to the OFM director by Oct. 1. The OFM director will then determine if the agreements are financially feasible for the contract that would take effect July 1, 2025.
Rep. Andrew Barkis, R-Centralia, is the ranking minority on the House Transportation Committee.
Below-deck jobs are critical, he told The Center Square.
“Those who are keeping the ships afloat should be compensated fairly,” Barkis said. “I don’t know exactly what that number is."
He went on to note, "We have a talented workforce now with institutional knowledge that will be very difficult to replace if they leave."
Barkis recalled a recent meeting with a longtime employee at Eagle Harbor who works in the engine room.
“He knew every nut and bolt, and I was thinking when this guy leaves, who is going to

Savvy Senior: How to choose a walk-in bathtub
Dear Savvy Senior,
Because of my back pain and mobility problems, I’m interested in getting a walk-in bathtub that’s safe and easy to get in and out of. What all can you tell me about walk-in tubs, and can you recommend some top options? Old and Achy
Dear Old,
For mobility challenged seniors, a walk-in bathtub can be a terrific option to consider because they’re much easier to get into and out of than a standard tub, which also helps prevent falls. Here’s what you should know, along with a reliable resource to help you choose one.
AGE-FRIENDLY TUBS
Walk-in bathtubs are uniquely designed tubs that have a watertight, hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a much lower threshold to step over (usually 3 to 7 inches) versus a standard tub that’s around 15 inches.
Most walk-in tubs have high sidewalls, usually between three and four feet high, and are between 28 and 32 inches wide, but will fit into the same 60-inch-long space as your standard tub without having to reconfigure the room.

replace him?” Barkis asked.
Such valuable employees need to be kept on the job.
“Part of that retention, like we’ve done with State Patrol, is compensation,” Barkis said.
“If we have to put more money into labor costs for the ferries, we’ll have to find that money somewhere,” he continued.
“It could put other projects in jeopardy, because there just isn’t the revenue to do it all.”
Gov. Jay Inslee’s push for hybridelectric ferries at a time when other boats are out of service has only made things worse, according to Barkis.
Washington State Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary for State Ferries Steve Nevey pushed back on that assertion during a recent media availability event.
“We share the public’s urgency in bringing these vessels on board as quickly as possible,” Nevey noted. “We can receive two vessels in 2028, two in 2029 and the final of these five vessels in 2030.”
State Sen. Marco Liias, D-Edmonds, chairs the Senate Transportation Committee.
“This is a testament to the
In addition to the low threshold, most walk-in tubs also have a built-in seat, grab bars, anti-slip floors and anti-scald valves. Some tubs also come with handheld showerheads and quick drains (that drain the tub in under a minute), and many higher-end models offer therapeutic spa-like features that are great for seniors with arthritis and other ailments.
The best kind of tub for you will depend on your needs, preferences and budget, and the size and layout of your bathroom. But be aware that walk-in bathtubs are not cheap. Prices range anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 or more for the tub and installation costs.
INSURANCE AND AID
Because walk-in tubs are not considered durable medical equipment, original Medicare does not typically cover them nor do Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policies, but some Medicare Advantage plans may help pay.
If you’re receiving Medicaid, many states have Home and Community Based Services that may provide some assistance. Or, if you’re a disabled veteran, the VA has some home modification grants that may help pay.
There are also grants and
real power of the Climate Commitment Act,” Liias said.
“Because of the CCA [Climate Commitment Act], our ferries are fare free for youth, and in just a few years they won’t just be fare free but climate neutral as well.”
Complicating the equation is the fact voters may repeal the CCA via an initiative on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Also complicating matters: staffing shortages.
The ferry system lost hundreds of employees during the pandemic, with many taking early retirement, quitting or being let go over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Ferry service has been delayed or canceled due to lack of staff and continued maintenance issues.
The winter 2024 Ferry Rider Opinion Group survey found 70% of riders on the Fauntleroy/ Vashon route expressing that they are either somewhat or extremely dissatisfied with service.
62% of riders on the Southworth/Vashon route voiced the same dissatisfaction.
“At the end of the day we must retain the valuable workforce that we have, and we’re going to have to figure that out because the alternative is far worse,” Barkis said.
loans available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture that help elderly, low-income residents of rural areas make home modifications, which may be used to pay for a walk-in bathtub. And, depending on where you live, there may be local programs that can help like Habitat for Humanity or Rebuilding Together.
To find out if these options are available in your area, contact your Area Aging Agency (call 800677-1116) or nearby center for independent living (see ilru.org).
If, however, you can’t locate any financial assistance and you can’t afford to pay upfront for a walkin tub, most manufacturers offer financing so you can make monthly payments. You should also know that if you’re using a walk-in tub for a specific medical condition, you may also be able to deduct the costs of the tub from your taxes as a medical expense (see irs.gov/pub/ irs-pdf/p502.pdf).
BEST WALK-IN BATHTUBS
To help you choose a walk-in bathtub the National Council on Aging, which is a national nonprofit organization that advocates for older Americans, put together a review team to research

5,300-gigawatt hours by 2030 and 13,500 GWh by 2045 to meet demand, according to Tenaska's presentation; one gigawatt is enough electricity to power 750,000 homes.
By 2050, electrical load growth is anticipated to increase by 92% compared to 2020 demand.
The second dilemma is that the new electricity must be from sources that conform to the state’s Clean Energy Transformation Act, which stipulates that utilities cannot use coal-based electricity starting next year, and by 2030 they can only use carbon neutral sources. By 2045, the energy will need to be from 100% renewable or “non-emitting” sources.
While Tenaska aims to have the BESS built in one year and operational by 2026, EFSEC has struggled to get final approval for a project that would generate clean energy needed to meet future demand. The Horse Heaven Energy Center was scheduled to begin construction in 2021 but has faced numerous delays, the latest of which came in May when Inslee sent the project back to EFSEC to
the different companies and tubs. Their list of best walk-in bathtubs of 2024 includes:

• Best Walk-in Tub with Shower: Kohler Walk-In Tub with Shower Package

• Best Soaking Tub: American Standard Gelcoat Entry Series
• Best Wheelchair-Accessible Tub: Ella Transfer
• Best Walk-in Tub for Small Spaces: AmeriGlide Sanctuary 2646 WIT
See NCOA.org/adviser/walk-intubs/best-walk-in-tubs for detailed reviews and product links. To get started, you should contact a few walk-in bathtub retailers who can send a professional to your home to assess your bathroom and give you product options and estimates. Lowe’s and Home Depot also offer free evaluations and a wide range of walk-in tub options.

increase its size and scope.
According to Inslee’s letter to the council, the original project would have generated 1,150 megawatts of electricity, 5% of the total needed to meet 2035 demand. Inslee wrote that 20 projects of similar energy generation will need to be built by 2035 if the state is to meet demand.
An E3 study released in 2019, the same year the law was enacted, warned that the Pacific Northwest region faced a near-term capacity shortage of up to 7,000 MW by 2025 and up to 10,000 MW by 2030.
“Planned resource additions do not fill this gap,” the study noted, adding that one of the causes of the energy gap was “renewable and storage additions with diminishing capacity benefit.”
A Pacific Northwest resource adequacy study released by E3 in March 2019 concluded that “it is possible to maintain resource adequacy for a deeply decarbonized Northwest electricity grid, as long as sufficient firm capacity is available during periods of low wind, solar, and hydro production” and that “natural gas generation is the most economic source of firm capacity today.”
Summer rolls, Italian style
By Lynda Balslev
Late summer yields a bounty of summer vegetables. Eggplant rollatini is a light and bright gratin that will put any excess eggplant to use. The eggplant is sliced in long strips and roasted. A ricotta filling is then rolled up in the strips and nestled in a marinara sauce, and the dish is gratineed in the oven.
There are several steps to this recipe, but don't be deterred. Each step is straightforward, and this dish comes together easily. The good news is that each component can be prepared ahead, and you can assemble the dish at your leisure. A recipe for the tomato sauce is provided, but if you want a shorter step, simply use a high-quality prepared marinara or tomato-basil sauce.

Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Spread the sauce in a 2-quart baking dish. Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Trim the ends of the eggplants. Thinly slice the eggplants lengthwise, about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the eggplant in one layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast until tender and golden brown in spots, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Whisk the cheeses, egg, garlic, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper in a bowl. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on the base of an eggplant slice. Starting at the base, roll the eggplant up. Arrange, seam-side down, in the sauce in the baking dish. Repeat

New school year brings changes for WA schools under Biden Title IX Final Rule
By Carleen Johnson The Center Square
With the new school year right around the corner, Washington’s 295 public school districts are busy trying to figure out how to comply with the recently implemented Final Rule changes to Title IX, created by the Biden administration.
Twenty-six states have, at least for now, blocked the changes, and as previously reported by The Center Square, The Washington Parents Network had planned to file a legal challenge to the Title IX changes, but opted to wait for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to rule on a multistate challenge.
David Spring, executive director of WA Parents Network tells The Center Square, “They (11th Circuit) were supposed to publish an opinion last Friday, but they did not ... Once they issue an opinion, we will have a better idea of which option we should take."
Supporters of the Title IX changes say it protects the rights of LGBTQ
persons, but opponents say it tramples on the original law, which was intended to promote an equal playing field for girls and women in sports and other activities.
Under the Biden changes, for example, boys who identify as girls and wish to compete in girls' sports, utilizing girls' restrooms, can do so.
Candidate for the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction David Olson told The Center Square though he disagrees with the Biden Final Rule changes, and believes they are unconstitutional, they are for now the law of the land.
“If we don’t like laws, we can work to change those laws, but we still have to follow them,” said Olson.
Olson said parents who are concerned do have some options, including joining a Moms For Liberty group.
“If the parents are members and they have kids in schools, their children are protected,” said Olson, “But I think that only applies to students protected from not having to use pronouns for classmates.”
