On the next stop of our civility tour, we stopped by @NavalBaseKitsap where we met with a submarine crew, a team from the hospital, and shipyard employees who taught us about how they work together to succeed. Thank you all for your hard work supporting our region!pic.twitter.com/JcjI0iJUgD

It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable. Our next stop was at @uwtacoma where we had a Q&A about #civility and finding common ground. Thanks to all of the students who showed up with great questions!pic.twitter.com/tlkGEUOKh4

Today is day two of @RepNewhouse's and my bipartisan Civility tour. The first stop today was a tour of @toolgauge’s operations. We also had a great conversation w/ the @Tacoma_Chamber about how to create more economic opportunities for more people in more places.pic.twitter.com/ip7pRvUrcm

Tonight as part of the national Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War we gathered as friends and neighbors in Port Angeles and said something 50 years overdue—thank you. Thank you to the 93 veterans honored tonight and to all who served.pic.twitter.com/rMECFuLv8r

Today I spoke before @GovInslee 's orca task force. Thousands of jobs in our region, our state's economic health, and our identity depend on a cleaner Puget Sound, more salmon and more orca. There's no silver bullet here--more like silver buckshot. Count me as a partner.pic.twitter.com/dGNR2GUkjw

Small businesses generate 3/5ths of net new jobs in our economy. Credit unions provide much of the the financing that helps small biz get off the ground, grow and create #jobs. Today I met with credit union leaders from across the region to hear about their important work.pic.twitter.com/n5HLUIFUdj

Earlier today @RepNewhouse and I visited the @TriCitiesCoC. We talked with local business leaders about how finding common ground can bring more economic #opportunity to more people in more places. Thanks for having me!pic.twitter.com/8TYLdQcOuk

Thanks to Mayor Chestnut for the tour of the Mill Creek Dam in Cosmopolis. This brand new dam replaces one that was washed out. It includes a fish ladder and weirs to help salmon and steelhead. I'll keep pushing for investments in #infrastructure that help create new jobs.pic.twitter.com/yNh3jXReO0

Last night I was honored to receive a leadership award from @LIUNA's African American Caucus, a group that fights for #equality and workers rights across the country. l look forward to our continued work together. Thanks for having me!pic.twitter.com/keLilvN4jj

Today I met w/ Dr. Jennifer Kreidler-Moss from Peninsula Community Health Services, an @NFL #CrucialCatch grant recipient. They're hosting a cancer screening day today!

Today, I joined with our community to say something long overdue: thank you. To the 63 veterans who joined us today in Ocean Shores and to everyone who didn’t hear it when you came home 50 years ago, thank you for your service and your sacrifices.pic.twitter.com/fnetFtdyZD

Thanks to Nola Renz, John Bailey and the entire @TACIDtweets team for an inspiring event today.

Keep it up, and count me as your partner.pic.twitter.com/sPO1zuRORU

Have you seen the rugged weather gear on the TV show Deadliest Catch? Chances are they were made by @GrundensUSA . On our final stop today, we visited their location at Twelve Trees Business Park and delivered some boxes. Thanks for following along! #DerekwithYourDeliverypic.twitter.com/og1kBDG2o2

Our next stop is Kickee Pants in Poulsbo. They distribute baby clothes and other products made out of bamboo. (I admit, I didn’t realize clothes could be made out of bamboo ... turns out it was super soft). Thanks for doing business in Kitsap County! #DerekwithYourDeliverypic.twitter.com/MkJFGiI6Tw

For stop #1, we visited the Benik Corp. They make neoprene products — including some of the sleeves and braces you’ve seen worn by your favorite athletes. Their wall of sports memorabilia should be in a museum! Thanks to Tim Baumgartner and team hosting me. #DerekwithYourDeliverypic.twitter.com/DACwklzR7c
