On April 27th, Mayor Thomas presented to the Monroe City Council a letter to Governor Jay Inslee, requesting the implementation of an alternative Healthy Washington phasing plan. Our seven City Councilmembers, the President and Executive Director of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, joined him in signing the letter, which was mailed to Governor Inslee's office on Wednesday, April 28.
In this letter, the City and Chamber of Commerce recognize the recent increase in COVID-19 case counts and the need to ensure adequate hospital capacity to treat those cases. While acknowledging both of those important factors, the City and Chamber of Commerce also recognize, and shared with the governor, the need for a pathway forward as vaccines become increasingly available. Collectively, the City and Chamber of Commerce requested the governor develop and implement an alternative phasing plan.
