A bevy of local lawmakers want to create a new state license plate featuring Gonzaga University. Cost: $40. The state Department of Transportation would get $12, and after deducting the cost of making the plate and running the program, the rest of the money would go to GU's alumni association. The plates -- assuming the bill passes -- would be available next year.
Washington offers more than two dozen such plates. Among the groups showing their pride on their plates: Eastern and Wazzoo students, Freemasons, ham radio operators, bicyclists, former prisoners of war, Mariners' fans and square dancers.
Short takes and breaking news from the Washington Legislature and the state capital.
