Former WA cop new to the forum. Issued and carried 226/229. I know with the expense a lot of agencies have transitioned away from Sigs. Curious if any WA agencies are still issuing Sigs and what they think of the new generation?

Welcome aboard. I just moved from Oly/Lacey/Tumwater earlier this year.

I worked at Kent P.D., we were a SIG agency at that time.
A few years back I flew out to WA and while I was visiting my family, I went out to the KPD range and shot my retired LEOSA qual. I was informed that they were phasing out the SIGs and replacing them with S&W M&Ps.
Some officers are still carrying SIGs (226, 229, 220, and 239)but new hires are getting S&W M&P. I was also told that there were some officers carrying Glocks, specifically some lateral hires that had been issued Glocks at their old agencies.
While I worked at KPD, you could carry your privately owned gun if you wished - as long as it was approved by the Range Master.
