Governor Inslee outlines recovery plan and authorizes low-risk construction:

Last week, Governor Jay Inslee announced a phased approach to reopening Washington State with gradual modifications to the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order. “It will look more like a turn of the dial than a flip of the switch,” Inslee said in the address. Depending on health projections for the spread of the virus, unfortunately some distancing restrictions may need to stay in place for weeks or months to come. Additional details of the plan can be found here. In keeping with the plan, the state recently authorized low-risk construction projects to restart while requiring adherence to specified COVID-19 Job Site Requirements, which were developed in coordination with the construction industry. Additionally, Washington State will partially open outdoor recreation activities on May 5, including many previously shuttered state parks, public lands, boat ramps and recreational hunting and fishing opportunities, Gov. Inslee announced Monday. However, social distancing guidelines are still in place, and public gatherings, team sports, and camping, among other things, are not resuming at this time.
