» Ten counties could take step backward on Road to Recovery
By Kathi O'Shea April 30, 2021 7:34 am clipart.com OLYMPIA, Wash. — Ten Washington counties could be taking a step backward on the Roadmap to Recovery plan, but Whatcom and other northwest counties aren’t on the list. Most of the counties that may have to move back to Phase 2 of the plan are in Central or Eastern Washington but King, Snohomish, Kitsap and Lewis are on the list. Pierce and Cowlitz Counties are already in Phase 2 and may have to remain there. Governor Inslee told a news conference Thursday that the current sharp increase in rates of infection is cause for concern.
