Capitol Hill Times/By Brandon Macz   03/10/2016

"Responding to a renewed debate about transgender rights in Washington and across the nation, Mayor Ed Murray signed an executive order on Thursday to ensure those rights are protected and that city employees are trained to provide safety and inclusiveness to Seattle's gender-diverse community.

The executive order came a month after the Washington Senate rejected a bill that would have forced people to use restrooms based on their birth gender rather than the one with which they identify."
