OLYMPIA, WASH. (AP) – A bill to make tsunami evacuation and earthquake drills mandatory for all schools didn’t make it through the state legislature.
The governor signed a watered-down version that makes earthquake drills optional.
Legislation requiring seismic evaluations of school buildings and other earthquake related measures died in the legislature.
