“Gov. Jay Inslee announced the statewide order at Monday at 5:30 p.m. The order takes effect immediately for residents, and in 48 hours for businesses. The order will be in place for a minimum of two weeks.”
“Grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, gas stations and restaurants offering take-out are among the essential businesses that will be allowed to remain open. State officials urged residents to not rush these businesses and to not hoard supplies.
“The order means:
- Grocery stores, banks, gas stations, pharmacies will be allowed to stay open.
- Restaurants offering take out will also be allowed to operate.
- Private and public gatherings are barred, including weddings and funerals.
- People will still be allowed to go outside for activities such as walking or exercise, but are reminded to keep at least 6 feet distance from other people.
