There are special rolling pins for imprinting the intricate designs on the pillow-shaped cookies, but the bottom of a fancy drinking glass or a decorative cookie press...

In June, Gov. Jay Inslee dictated there would be a permanent COVID-19 vaccine mandate that extended beyond the reach of his emergency powers.

For now, rules have been written — effective Nov. 4 — and a COVID-19 vaccine is now required for taxpayer-funded employment in state executive and small cab...
