7 more Wash. counties OK'd for Phase 2 reopening

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Seven more counties have received approval to move into Phase 2 of Gov. Jay Inslee's plan to restart the stalled Washington economy, which ground to a halt as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

The seven counties - Cowlitz, Grant, Island, Jefferson, Mason, Pacific and San Juan - got the green light Saturday from state Secretary of Health John Wiesman.

Twenty-one of the state's 39 counties have now received the OK to advance to Phase 2 of the reopening. The 14 counties previously approved are Adams, Asotin, Columbia, Ferry, Garfield, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Lincoln, Pend Orielle, Skamania, Spokane, Stevens, Wahkiakum and Whitman counties.

Three other counties are now eligible to apply for a variance to move to Phase 2, but have not received approval - Clallam, Kitsap and Thurston counties.

Applications from Kittitas and Clark counties are on pause until further discussion next week due to outbreak investigations.
