(Renton, WA)  --  A man called a "vociferous, table-pounding liberal" is dead at age 78.  Former Washington Governor Mike Lowry died yesterday of complications from a stroke.  Lowry served as governor from 1993 to 1997, after representing Washington's 7th District in Congress for a decade.  Governor Jay Inslee says Lowry "served with compassion and humility" and cared deeply about the people of Washington.
