Washington is the first state to pass its own laws governing net neutrality, with federal regulations preventing Internet service providers from blocking or throttling content slated to end in April.
...
On Monday, Inslee signed the law protecting net neutrality rules within the state. The new legislation, which passed with bipartisan support, cements into state law the rules set by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015.
...
"Today we make history: Washington will be the first state in the nation to preserve the open internet," Inslee said during a bill signing ceremony. Washington's law will take effect June 6; however, the FCC's changes to its rules go into effect next month.

I would rather it this way than through the Feds.
Now if they would apply equal treatment of content on websites.

Who are you to decide what goes on my website?
ETA: I took the bait, didn't I? Having lost the NN debate in the public eye, you and yours are now deliberately conflating the issue, as if you can't tell the difference between content provider and carrier service.

Since it's my state, I'm very fine with it. But I also think after Trump that we are no longer the "United" States and should probably regionalize. Washington doing this is a perfect example of a state choosing a different path and those who disagree can hit the road.
Of course, leave it to the #FakeNews media to gush over this law that "sticks it to" the Trump Administration, all while failing to provide even the semblance of critical reporting on the legality of such a move. The federal regulations explicitly prohibit states from preempting the new change by the FCC . https://reason.com/blog/2018/03/06/w...ly-dubious-net
