High-ranking Washington Republican talks about his Dad: Friday Harbor’s David Corry

On Friday, SanJuans.Today visited the Olympia office of State Rep Chris Corry (R-15, Yakima). But Corry’s office is not in the John L. O’Brien House Office Building with most of his colleagues. Corry works from an opulent office on the third floor of the Capitol building, with high ceilings and formal drapes. Corry’s office is just a few paces from the floor of the House. See, Chris Corry is the Deputy Minority Leader of the Washington House of Representatives, number two in leadership in the House GOP.

We asked Deputy Leader Corry if his Dad — Friday Harbor photographer David Corry — had anything to do with him becoming a politician.

We asked him if he is surprised by the governing style of Governor Bob Ferguson.

We asked him some questions about state government, including some questions about needs in the San Juans.

Here is an audio recording of yesterday’s interview.

And here’s a SanJuans.Today video clip of the grand opening of Dad David Corry’s Friday Harbor photo studio on May 3, 2024.
