Thanks to community working together, we are slowing the spread of COVID-19 and are working to gradually and carefully reopen the local economy. Today, the Washington State Department of Health approved King County for a modified Phase 1 of the Governor’s Safe Start reopening plan.

As people come together more, they still need to maintain the safety principles that led to success against the outbreak.

COVID-19 is still spreading in King County and we need to continue to decrease the numbers in order to be eligible for Phase 2, which allows for more activities to open.
