“For expenses necessary for the operation, maintenance, and care of existing river and harbor ... projects authorized by law ... $6,013,217,000”

This enacted FY2026 law proves Congress funded Army Corps operation-and-maintenance work broadly. It does not isolate the Lake Washington Ship Canal line item, so it supports only partial fulfillment of the requested funding target.

“Operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers” and the locks “allow recreational and commercial vessels to travel” through the canal.

The Corps page confirms the facility remains an active federal operations-and-maintenance project. It does not show that Cantwell’s requested FY2026 amount was fully secured, so it leaves the specific promise unresolved.
