Because of Washingtonians’ diligence and commitment in fighting COVID-19, we are moving forward with more economic activity in our state.
On March 22, every county in the state of Washington will move to Phase 3 of our reopening plan.
On March 22, every county in the state of Washington will move to Phase 3 of our reopening plan.
Phase 3 means all indoor activities that are allowed now, can scale up. This means our restaurants, gyms and fitness centers, movie theaters, and some of the hardest hit businesses in Washington will be able to return to 50% capacity.
There are changes to our sports guidance to allow for more people to attend games. It has been a year now since our state has had spectators at major sporting events, but we are now at a point that we can safely allow this under certain restrictions.
The sports guidance applies to a safe and healthy expansion of youth sports. High-contact sports like basketball, wrestling and cheerleading will be allowed to have competitions again.
In more good news, I am pleased that we will move to the next tier of eligibility earlier than we thought. On March 17, everyone in Tier 2 will be eligible for a COVID vaccine.
