The Washington state capitol building in Olympia, 2010.

The first big deadline of Washington's Legislative session is coming up, a week from Monday.

That's when non-budget related bills need to pass out of committee if they're going to survive to see another day.

Among those on the agenda this week: bills addressing the harassment of election workers and a proposal to allow school districts to experiment with a year-round schedule.

Meanwhile this week, the Washington Senate plans to pass that $2 billion relief package we've been talking about it.

After that it could be headed to the governor for his signature.
