Hundreds of Washington state Attorney General employees walk off job over proposed budget cuts
March 23, 2025 // “Any dollars cut from our funding impedes our ability to do our work, and it costs a lot more down the road,” Savage said. “That money now more than ever is necessary for us to protect not only Washingtonians but the most vulnerable within our populations.” The Attorney General’s Office has a budget of $671.5 million for 2023 to 2025, supporting a staff of 1,816 employees. Savage said the walkout was meant to send a clear message to lawmakers, who are ultimately responsible for finalizing the state’s budget. “We can’t strike like a typical government agency; we’re prevented from doing that,” she said. “The best we can do is a walkout to send a message to legislators that these cuts will cause more problems than they solve.”
