Costco Donates $350,000 to WA’s Privatization Initiative

Dear Client: New campaign finance reports for Modernize Washington, the campaign for Initiative 1100, shows that Costco donated $350,000 last Tuesday. That's according to a report in Publicola. The retail giant is clearly serious about getting the Initiative on the November ballot. Not only did they make a big donation, but they are also holding petition signings at warehouse locations across the state. You'll recall that I-1100 would privatize spirits sales in Washington that are currently run by the government.
