TVW

TVW opens the work of state government to the people of Washington. For more than 25 years, TVW's gavel-to-gavel coverage of government deliberations, public policy events from around the state, and award-winning programming has served as an unfiltered lens into the inner workings of Washington state government.

TVW was started and continues to operate on several founding principles:

Open government: Government belongs to the people of Washington, who deserve complete access to the workings of their state government.

In-depth, nonpartisan coverage: Both with its unedited "gavel-to-gavel" coverage and its news reporting TVW seeks to go beyond the soundbites; tell stories in elected officials' own voices; stay meticulously nonpartisan; and let viewers make their own decisions about the issues.

Civics education: We work to educate Washingtonians of all ages about their state government, and invite them to engage and participate.
