Most state offices closed Friday for furloughs

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT -- Friday will be another furlough day for many Washington state employees.

Washington Fish and Wildlife Department employees and offices are included, except that fish and wildlife police officers  and other enforcement officers statewide are exempt.
