OLYMPIA, Wash. — The pause on the state’s phased reopening plan has been extended through July 28.
Governor Jay Inslee implemented the statewide pause earlier this month.
It was originally intended to be in place for two weeks for the state’s 39 counties, which are in various phases of a four-stage economic reopening plan.
But Inslee said that rising case counts mean there is a “significant risk” that parts of the economy may need to be closed again if the current trends continue.
