The town the virus missed: No virus cases counted in Index

INDEX — The coronavirus hasn’t changed much in the town of Index.

While the rest of Snohomish County has come to a screeching halt, the pace here has slowed subtly, if at all.

“It’s been kind of the same,” Mayor Norm Johnson said. “It’s kind of a quiet, sleepy little town.”

In the shadow of the Index Town Wall, a well-known rock-climbing destination, residents still take their daily walks to the post office that’s inside the General Store. They still ride their bikes, walk their dogs and, for the most part, keep to themselves.

“Their same daily routine,” Johnson said.

The town of about 175 people, plopped alongside the Skykomish River in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, is the last remaining municipality in Snohomish County with zero reported COVID-19 cases.

Johnson attributes that mainly to isolation.

is it in the statewide (i.e. Seattle) media yet about the Chelan Co. Superior Court judge testing positive?

Will set back our phasing to 2 here, I'm certain...

They put up a road block much like our Lakota people today.
