The state of Washington is pushing for more lights, camera and action around these parts. Gov. Chris Gregoire is considering a bill that could pay production companies and film crews cold, hard cash for setting up shop in the state. Seattle has its beauty, but many companies still balk on shooting their films and TV shows here because of production costs. But now, Washington wants to up the ante by offering big cash incentives to companies that film in the state. If the governor signs a new bill, production companies could get back up to 30 percent of what they spend in our state. This change in the state law would mean smaller, independent films would profit the most, as would the job market.
