Today during a press conference, Governor Inslee announced a change to the date the statewide indoor mask mandate will lift. Instead of March 21, the statewide mandate will lift at 11:59 p.m. on March 11.

This means that beginning Saturday, March 12, barring a new requirement from our local health department, masks will become optional in our school buildings and on school buses.
