OLYMPIA, Wash. — Dozens of parents, students and community members gathered in Olympia’s Heritage Park Saturday with a unified message: They want schools fully back open and the governor isn't going far enough with his latest proclamation.
"I came down here to support open schools, I think it’s past time, I think the science and data is in that it can be done safely,” said Tacoma mom Jessica Ritzmann.
