Dozens of Washington State Patrol troopers and other state and local government employees have sued Gov. Jay Inslee, contending his COVID-19 vaccine mandate oversteps his legal authority and violates their constitutional rights.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Walla Walla County Superior Court, lists more than 90 individual plaintiffs. They include 53 State Patrol employees, a dozen Department of Corrections workers, plus firefighters, health care and ferry system workers.
Reacting to a spike in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations driven mainly by unvaccinated people, Inslee last month ordered all state employees and contractors, K-12 education staffers and health care workers to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 18 or lose their jobs.
