Advocating for a path forward

As a State, we’ve done a lot to flatten the curve – this is a result of Washingtonians following public health guidelines. We’ve all done well so far – Thank you!

Over the last few weeks, I’ve heard from residents and employers about the spread of COVID-19 and the Stay Home-Stay Healthy order. People want to do more than just keep the curve flat; they also want to bend the curve down. And people want a more concrete path forward for all segments of our community to return to work, recreate, shop, and worship even if it means doing so with some limitations.

The week of April 20th, mayors across Snohomish County met remotely to discuss these concerns. The outcome was to send a letter to the Governor. In addition to sending a letter to the Governor, the mayors agreed to send an op-ed piece to local newspapers.
