It’s probably useful to name the other religious holidays recognized by Washington State: Christmas, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Lunar New Year, and Diwali
Attached is the statute as it is written before the new law takes effect on July 27, 2025. As you can see, none of those other holidays are included except Christmas being listed as a paid holiday. I explain that in the article where Christmas is mostly considered a cultural holiday, not a religious one. Thanks for reading and sharing my article.
The attached link to an ad I created to promote my article explains why the recognition or listing of Christmas is different than the recognition of specifically religious holidays.
