This week's Recap with Rick: supporting opioid recovery in Northwest Washington and touring Seattle's FIFA World Cup base camp.

The 2026 World Cup is just around the corner, and the Pacific Northwest is ready to welcome fans from all over the world to watch great soccer.

I was in Whatcom County on Friday to see firsthand how local communities are recovering from December's floods. I am glad that today the Major Disaster Declaration was approved to help Northwest Washington communities get the federal dollars they need to recover.

Artemis II begins its flyby of the far side of the moon at 10:30 a.m. PT today. The first time humans will see the dark side of the moon (I can’t speak to whether or not non-human eyes have seen it).

Happy Earth Day! Protecting Northwest Washington's environment is one of my top priorities, and I will keep fighting to protect the ecosystems and wildlife that are vital to our economy and way of life.

This weekend, I helped cut the ribbon at Olmsted Park in Sedro-Woolley. I brought home $500,000 in federal dollars to help bring the park to life, and I'm glad that the community will be able to use this new space to play soccer, fish, picnic and more.

I visited Community Resource Center of Stanwood Camano last week. The center helps families get nutritious food for infants and young children through WIC, a program that Congress fully funded despite the President's efforts to cut it. I also played a slightly out of tune guitar.

I encourage the many gifted young artists of Northwest Washington to submit their artwork to the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations again to last year's winner, Tessa Meyer of Oak Harbor High School, and I look forward to seeing this year's submissions to the competition.

Congratulations to the City of Marysville on the long-awaited opening of Mother Nature's Window Park.

Claude : When he says "it's such a shame but I don't want her anymore," the word "shame" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's not just an expression … recognizing that even when loving someone is bad for you, losing that love feels like a loss worth mourning? Claude : he’s trying to HELP you see

MAGYAR: Ukraine is the victim, and it has every right to protect its territorial sovereignty and integrity by all means at its disposal. I would also like to emphasize this, because independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine were guaranteed by Budapest Memorandum in 1994.

Perfection will never exist. Rational people seek overall incremental improvement. Delaying improvement costs lives. Autonomous vehicles are already safer overall than human drivers - especially human drivers who lose consciousness behind the wheel like this bus driver and many other bus drivers.
