Concerning autonomous regions in Washington state.

House Joint Resolution 4208 proposes a constitutional amendment to divide Washington state into two autonomous regions: the Puget Sound region and the Columbia region, subject to voter approval. The Puget Sound region would consist of 13 western counties, while the Columbia region would encompass 26 eastern counties. Each region would be empowered to draft its own constitution, establish a regional legislature with a senate and house, and elect a regional governor. Additionally, the bill stipulates that each region would own the assets within its boundaries and assume a proportion of the state's liabilities based on its population.
