As the Democrat-controlled Washington Legislature wrapped up its 2026 session, two bills that anti-gunners supported while gun owners opposed were rammed through and sent to anti-gun Democrat Gov. Bob Ferguson to sign, one hiking background check fees and the other a measure essentially designed to silence county sheriffs who publicly oppose gun control laws.
On the plus side, bills which died in committee include legislation which would have restricted possession of firearms in state or local public buildings, parks, playgrounds and county fairs, another measure limiting bulk purchases of firearms and ammunition, and a bill establishing so-called “safe storage” requirements for firearms in vehicles and residences.
However, House Bill 2521 allows the Washington State Patrol (WSP) to adjust its background check fees by setting “an amount reasonably calculated to cover the direct and indirect costs to the Washington state patrol incurred in administering the firearm background check program.”
