The Legislative Building in Olympia is relatively quiet as many lawmakers head home for town hall meetings or other events, or just to get some well-deserved rest after working into the evening the past week in the face of Tuesday's deadline to pass bills from their house of origin. With the scheduled 60-day legislative session now two-thirds completed, the House and Senate are now considering bills originating from the opposite chamber. Speaking of the Legislative Building, this is how it appeared 90 years ago this week. It was still in the early stages of construction. In fact, the building wasn't finished until 1928.
