Monthly 13th District office
hours return June
11
Reps.
Bill Hinkle
and Judy
Warnick today announced they would start up their monthly
district office hours again in Grant and Kittitas counties on Thursday, June 11.
The first office hours
will be held in Cle Elum at the Cottage Cafe from 10 a.m. to noon. The
building is located at 911 East First Street. In Ellensburg, the
legislators will meet citizens at the Kittitas County Courthouse
auditorium, 205 West 5th Avenue, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Hinkle recently closed his district office in Cle Elum to save costs.
"Closing my district office in Cle Elum wasn’t an easy decision,” said
Hinkle, R-Cle Elum. “I’ve enjoyed having the office
available for constituent visits and meetings over the years. But we’re
going to save the state a few dollars by closing the district office for
the foreseeable future. I’m still available to meet with constituents
whenever they need me and I’m looking forward to the continuation of our
official 13th District office hours this interim.”
Warnick also looks forward to another opportunity connecting with
constituents.
"This year's session covered a lot of big issues and I know there's been
some confusion with the final outcomes of legislation. This is a chance
for folks to chat with us one-on-one and ask questions," said
Warnick, R-Moses Lake. "I'm happy to have the opportunity to
travel our district and meet with the great people we represent."
The representatives plan to hold office hours once a month in Kittitas
and Yakima counties to meet with constituents.
Warnick can be reached at (509) 766-6505 during the interim. Hinkle can be reached at
(360) 786-7808 or toll-free (800) 562-6000.
Office hours in Yakima County will be announced soon.
