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

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): 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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): 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.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term

FY2026 appropriations did enact broad Army Corps operations-and-maintenance funding in same-term legislation, but the evidence does not show that the Lake Washington Ship Canal in King County received the specific full request or a dedicated line item. That supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
