Gov. Inslee called on Washington businesses to stop purchasing Russian goods.
While Washington state is more than 5,000 miles away from the Ukrainian capital currently under threat of Russian invasion, Gov. Jay Inslee localized the conflict Monday afternoon when he called on the state’s trade regulators to terminate commercial connections with Russia.
. Most of those imports come in the form of materials inaccessible to the average consumer: mineral fuels, platinum, iron, steel, fertilizers, and various manufactured chemicals.
