Inslee: State is at toughest point in fight against COVID-19
OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Friday eased restrictions on more businesses as the state continues to reopen.
Inslee’s office released guidelines allowing curbside pickup at retail stores and commercial landscaping.

“We are in maybe the hardest place in the course of this disease,” Inslee said. “It’s hardest because we’ve had some sort of early victories against this virus, and now is the point where it would be really easy for us to let up in our efforts. But I really don’t believe that in Washington we should snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We don’t want to have to do this twice.”
