Speaking of retiring, Gov. Jay Inslee's basketball number (35) will be retired on Friday morning at an athletic fundraiser at his high school alma mater: Seattle's Ingraham High (details here). A little looking around in The Seattle Times' electronic archives shows that Inslee was part of a very good team in 1969, his senior year. We just hope that, in a few years, we can look back and say the same about him and his new "teammates," the state's legislators. A bipartisan transportation bill would be a good next move for the old Ram and his legislative colleagues.
