License plates. COVID-19. The Department of Corrections. Three odd topics to put together, but when the pandemic hit, the production of all plates was disrupted.
I’m not sure how many of you realize that incarcerated individuals still make our license plates in Washington. It’s a contract that is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.“They contract with us to produce the license plates, everything from the embossed plates to the digital plates and vanity plates that you see on the road,” said Deputy Director of Correctional Industries for the Department of Corrections Todd Cunnington. “We produce all of them for the state.
“We’re about to a place where we are fully caught up with the Department of Licensing, but it has taken some time,” Cunnington said. “We had technicians come in and everybody we could think of to resurrect the equipment that we had,” Cunnington said. “It would not go, so we’ve had to contract out to have the sheeting, what the images are put onto, to have that produced for us.”
