Two Islamic celebrations will be added to Washington’s list of unpaid state holidays, under a bill signed into law on Tuesday.
Senate Bill 5106 would make Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha state-recognized holidays. The bill passed the House on March 31, the day after Ramadan concluded. Gov. Bob Ferguson signed it Tuesday night at the Islamic Center of Tacoma, where community members filled the room.
