Governor Inslee Turns to a County-by-County Approach
On friday afternoon, Governor Inslee announced the expansion of
Safe Start
— Washington’s Phased Reopening plan, as the current Stay Home Stay Healthy order ended at midnight on Sunday, May 31. The expansion moves Washington through the phased reopening on a
county-by-county
basis.
Inslee's office expects that with this new approach, counties will have more flexibility to demonstrate they can safely allow additional economic activity based on targeted metrics.
The county-by-county
Safe Start
plan details how counties can apply to the state Department of Health with a plan to reopen additional sectors of public life if they meet
eligibility requirements.
The secretary of health may approve a county moving in whole to the next phase
OR
may only approve certain activities
in the next phase. Businesses can only reopen after the governor’s office provides industry-specific guidance and the business is able to comply with all health and safety requirements. Learn more about the business, recreational and spiritual
activities allowed for each phase
and guidance for safe reopening.

The efforts contributed by BIAW and CWHBA to keep permitting offices open and getting residential construction back to work
could have accomplished so much more had the right elected officials been in power.
Think of advocacy as a process. Step one is to
elect the right people and step two is to
educate or lobby them. It is much easier to lobby an official you helped elect than to deal with the ones that others elected.
