Final 2026 Budgets: What You Need to Know
Governor Bob Ferguson has signed the state’s supplemental and operating budget bills, making a number of vetoes to the operating budget the Legislature passed — none of which directly affect Washington State University. The final budget did, however, yield a small operating reduction for the university.
The capital budget also saw a handful of vetoes unrelated to WSU. The underlying budget makes a number of needed investments in the universities infrastructure, including funds for minor works projects and to design and renovate space for Team Health Education in Spokane.
