Great news.  I agree this is the right time to push for it, especially as McKenna is against gay marriage and I believe Gov. McKenna would veto it.  Inslee is a gay marriage supporter but his poll numbers vs. McKenna are shaky right now.  Recent polling suggests a gay marriage bill could survive an initiative challenge in WA.

Upholding marriage equality via election is not a sure thing in Washington state.  But the two polls and the vote on R-71 show there is clear evidence it could be.  Being gay myself, I certainly hope so.

The Seattle Times editorial page (which I despise on most economic issues) has editorialized in favor of marriage equality:
