In an email announcement from his campaign he states:

On Monday, the King County Council will vote on whether to support efforts to make gay marriage legal in Washington State.  Both my opponent and I will have to choose a side on this important issue.

But I don’t need to wait for the vote to tell you that I support marriage equality.

I supported gay marriage during my first campaign for office in 2003, and I will vote to support it again on Monday.  To me, marriage equality is the defining civil rights issue of our time. Any State that denies a committed couple the freedom to marry stands on the wrong side of history.

When marriage equality becomes law in Washington State, the Attorney General will defend it in the courts.
