OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Most Washington state offices are closed Friday for another furlough day.

About 35,000 state employees at 50 agencies are affected.

This is the second of 10 unpaid days the state expects will cut about $70 million in spending. The first was July 12 and the next one will be Sept. 7.

Public health and safety workers are exempt from the furloughs. They include state troopers, prison guards and child protection workers.
