Today, Gov. Jay Inslee announced March 21 is the end date for Washington state’s mask mandate for indoor public spaces and schools. Public Health - Seattle & King County said this afternoon it will keep watching the numbers closely and will reassess the mask mandate in the coming weeks. Last week, Gov. Inslee announced the outdoor mask mandate for events with 500 people or more ends Feb. 18.
We shared yesterday that King County is ending its vaccine verification requirement for about 10,000 businesses on March 1. Washington state is ending its vaccine verification requirement for large events March 1.
