Focus Day 2026
Returning to the Capitol in 2026!
Join us for Focus Day in Olympia to “go to bat for kids”! Come advocate with elected officials to close the funding gaps and ensure financial stability for schools and other vital issues that impact students around the state! Advocacy is a team sport. Build community and network with your fellow WSPTA advocates and leaders. All WSPTA members are welcome. Bring your children to join in the fun! Wear your “PTA Blue” or “Go to bat for kids” shirts.
We are encouraging members to schedule meetings with their legislators this day (even if you need to schedule remote meetings). It is important to reach out to legislators as soon as possible, and we will provide resources to help in our Focus on Advocacy Toolkit.
More details and information can be found on the Focus on Advocacy webpage and will be included in future newsletters.

ADA Doors and disabled parking View the campus map to find ADA parking locations.
Visitors to the Legislative Building will find four ADA parking spots on the south side of the building. These parking spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. There are two ADA doors directly in front of these parking stalls with public elevators located just inside these entrances. These doors are not open on weekends or state holidays.
An additional accessible entrance to the Legislative Building is located at the southeast corner of the building, near the intersection of Sid Snyder Ave. and Cherry Lane. This entrance is closest to all other visitor parking and public transportation. Additionally, two ADA parking spaces are located near this entrance just in front of the Cherberg Building. This entrance is open to the public whenever the building is open.
Restrooms ADA accessible restrooms are available on all four floors of the Legislative Building. Family restrooms are located on the north side of the second, third and fourth floors. There are also single-user restrooms throughout the capitol.
