History

The history of electoral reform in Washington state goes back many years. Someone should write something about it. Here's what User:RobLa recalls off the top of his head:

1920s - A systems sometimes called the "Spokane method" (but similar to Bucklin voting was implemented, and then dropped.
1990s - The Washington Citizens for Proportional Representation was formed. This group has since been renamed to FairVote WA
2020s - Seattle Approves is formed

Local Options Bill

The Local Options Bill (House Bill 1722) seems like an important development.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Advocacy

FairVote WA - the Washington state chapter of FairVote^[4]
Seattle Approves - chapter of The Center for Election Science forming in mid-2020.
