Reps. Chase and Abell to host town hall to discuss two ‘autonomous regions’ plan
Washington State Rep. Rob Chase, R-Spokane Valley, and Rep. Hunter Abell, R-Inchelium, are hosting a town hall meeting to discuss legislation that would create two “autonomous regions” within state boundaries rather than create a 51st state.
The legislators introduced House Bill 2085 during the 2025 legislative session to offer a solution for the people in Eastern Washington who do not feel like they are being heard or represented in Olympia.
Chase and Abell will provide an overview of the legislation, how the regions would work, and take questions from those in attendance.
Details of the meeting are below.
