@GovInslee
I am directing the closure of all K-12 schools in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Schools must close by Tuesday, March 17th and stay closed through Friday, April 24

Every school in the country will be closed within a week.
Schools in Ohio are closing as of Monday end of day.
My city...with no cases...is closing everything.
There is mass panic in the grocery stores locally this afternoon.
Everything feels like it is being shutdown. Parents are in a quandary as to what to do with their children staying out of school for 3 weeks.
My business has died completely and if what they are saying in Ohio is they are anticipating the peak of the virus in late April through May.
