Stay Home and Healthy!

During this uncertain time, I want to ensure that every neighbor is following Governor Inslee and public health advice and staying home in order to stay healthy. Here are a list of resources that exist for you and your community. I am also posting regular updates on social media.

It is just as important that every neighbor remains connected to their community and kind to each other. We will get through this, together.

LEGISLATIVE RESPONSE

On March 12, the Legislature passed with unanimous support in both Chambers our coronavirus response which included:

• $175 million transferred from the state rainy day fund and appropriated to State and Local government and Tribes to respond to COVID 19.
• The funding will reimburse public health departments working on identifying cases of COVID-19 across the state, hire more nurses, transfer qualified uninfected patients to nursing homes, and increase testing facilities.
• $25 million transferred from the rainy day fund for unemployment benefits for employees who are temporarily laid off due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
• Allows the state Board of Education to provide waivers to local school districts for high school graduation requirements for students impacted by school closures.

I remain in constant contact with the Governor’s office, my colleagues in the Legislature and state and local agencies and am ready to return to Olympia as needed.
