Worker Memorial Day 2026 Recap video

Every year, the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries hosts a Worker Memorial Day ceremony to honor the fallen workers from the previous year. And each year we produce a spot that recaps the event.

It’s a grueling project because in order to be timely it needs to be produced relatively soon after the event. That usually means long hours and quick turnarounds to produce quick, quality work. All of that on top of producing the live broadcast itself which is stressful. But, this event is the epitome of the work done at L&I, so it’s important.

Of all the recap pieces I’ve produced during my tenure at L&I, I am immensely proud of this one. They’re all important to me, but the 2026 recap perfectly encapsulates the mission to Keep Washington Safe and Working.
