AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Tourism: Princess Cruises’ Star Princess completed its first Alaska season after 20 round trips from Seattle, a major deployment expected to carry more than 90,000 passengers. Tech and Jobs: Washington’s startup scene drew a record $3.5 billion in funding as national venture investment cooled. In the Tri-Cities, a fusion-energy developer plans to build manufacturing operations and create hundreds of jobs. Microsoft: The Trump administration suspended the Redmond company from a green-card program, alleging misuse; Microsoft has disputed the accusations as workers seek clarity. Amazon also cut hundreds of jobs globally, with the Seattle impact still unclear. Taxes and Investment: Gov. Bob Ferguson selected 99 Opportunity Zones to encourage private investment, while debate intensifies over the state’s proposed income tax on high earners. Retail: Costco agreed to pay Washington shoppers $14 million to settle an email-related lawsuit.
