Yes, an actual news release announcing this has actually been sent out:

OLYMPIA — Mere months after declaring he was “too hip” for Facebook in The Seattle Times, Sen. Joe McDermott, D-West Seattle, has joined the social networking site.

“When the Senate approved both the expansion of our Domestic Partnership law and a measure that added ‘transgendered’ to our hate crimes statute, I sent an email out to my friends, constituents and family praising the actions. A friend replied, encouraging me to join Facebook so I could easily keep everyone informed,” McDermott said. “I knew then that I had to join.”

Facebook is a social networking web site that allows users to add friends and send them messages while updating their personal profiles to inform friends about themselves.

“While I still appreciate face-to-face conversations, I realized that utilizing social networking sites like Facebook would allow me to reach out to even more of my constituents — even if it makes me tragically unhip,” McDermott said.
