Some protesters wore masks and others waved American flags.
One of the organizers of the event says rural areas should be treated differently than more urban locations with more coronavirus cases.
Inslee also blasted President Donald Trump’s call to “liberate” parts of the country from social-distancing decrees
The governor says Trump is fomenting a potentially deadly “insubordination” before the pandemic is contained.
Washington state has about 11,800 confirmed virus cases and more than 630 deaths.
