Governor Jay Inslee and Secretary of Health John Wiesman announced a two-week pause on all counties moving forward in the phases until at least July 16. This is to allow more time to see where the numbers are heading, and to give more time for face covering requirements to take hold.

The numbers have continued to go in the wrong direction, with our case rates having doubled in Snohomish County since the beginning of June.”
