Contributing to the confusion, Gov. Inslee ignored a legal deadline which required him to inform the agricultural groups whether he would let stand a COVID-19 regulation that contradicts his new state reopening guidance for businesses. Just last month, agriculture groups succeeded in court in preventing the state from enforcing unreasonable COVID-19 regulations on farming.
