13th District representatives travel to Yakima to chat with constituents Thursday

Reps. Bill Hinkle and Judy Warnick will be traveling from their respective homes in Cle Elum and Moses Lake to be available to their constituents in the Yakima area on Thursday, June 18.

"Traveling throughout our district helps us stay in touch with the real business owners, working families, educators, farmers and health providers that we represent," Hinkle said. "There's nothing like sitting down with these folks to remember what is important."

“Yakima and surrounding areas are facing many serious issues that need to be dealt with on a legislative level. This is our opportunity to hear opinions from constituents," Warnick said. "I encourage people to stop by and say 'hi' and share their suggestions or concerns about state government."

When: Thursday, June 18 from 10 a.m. - noon; 1 - 3 p.m.

Where: Columbia Basin Railroad Office Building, board room, located at 111 South 33rd Street

The representatives plan to travel to Yakima the third Thursday of each month through the end of the year before the next legislative session begins.
