WA Transportation Secretary Steps Down, Gov Appoints New One

Well this came out of left field. At least for me anyway. Washington State Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond announced her retirement today and Governor Jay Inslee has already appointed someone to fill the position.

Hammond's retirement is effective March 8, after serving 34 years at the Washington State Department of Transportation. Lynn Peterson, currently an advisor to Oregon's governor, was appointed to the position.

King 5 News has more.
