I've heard from 2 NON-reliable sources we may have some sort of lockdown coming. I'm guessing a shelter in place like what they have in Cali. Thats all I've heard.

If you are in Skagit County and end up in a bad way shoot me a PM. I've food and TP and can help out in an emergency and happy to share.

If you are traveling through Skagit Co and get caught happy to help as needed, I have a tent and back yard. You can use the couch with a deposit of 2 6 packs of beer.

Yep I'm quite curious as well. I think we all know theres going to be a shelter in place coming down the pipe, I'd be supremely surprised if it didnt happen.

I'm pretty well set so not overly worried. I'm well stocked and also have a work from home gig. Hell, the whole damn world can just bugger off and as long as the lights stay on I wouldnt know any different for the first week.

Who is going to enforce it and with what legal authority?

Law enforcement agencies around  may ask you not to open your sit down restaurant but are not about to use force or refer charges for something that has no RCW or WAC code legal backing.

Cant see us not going into lock down.

California,  NY, Illinois,  all in lock down mode.

I am sure Inslee will be happy to do this.

Depends on the word from On High. If Inslee says "Keep your ass on your couch or else" you better believe the police will be happy to issue you a citation for not following the Kings Law.

LEO aren’t investigating anything but life threatening incidents.

Lockdown = meaningless.

I might go camping.

Or joyriding.

Inslee is hinting at it though, if "more people don't start taking this serious enough", whatever that means.

It means that we have the opportunity to voluntarily comply with the current request to minimize close contact/large group contact, to reduce transmission.  As testing begins to improve in Washington, if the numbers reflect that the virus is being contained then there is no need to institute tougher restrictions.

Yes, he is hinting at the need to step it up if the numbers escalate.

Perhaps this rather dry video will be of some help:

Hearing rumors now through the grapevine. Suposidly this will be a federal, nation wide 2 week shutdown. Only grocery stores and pharmacies allowed to be open and otherwise everyone stay home.

Came up to Mt baker this morning to watch the sunrise. It's closed so no skiing (boo) but given that man it sure is quiet and peaceful up here this morning (and I get 4g on the peak)

City of Bellingham is thinking of declaring Martial law it looks like. Without actually calling it that. Of course gun stores would have to close and it would be illegal to carry or Possess firearms.

@BGENE

You heard anything?

It was posted on the Bellingham Covid-19 site as well.

Whatcom County Emergency Services will have a press briefing at 11am

But rumors are running rampant at this point.
People have also reported National Guard Convoys on I-5
and men in uniform at the Blaine border crossing.

Ohio in lock down and North Dakota shortly. Inslee kicked off another tweet (aka Strike 2) yesterday about people not getting serious. Trump just signed off more monies for WA state.

We've already planned for lockdown here in Fort Whatcom three weeks ago.

I read the Facebook comments on local news sites and see the overwhelming majority of people are practically BEGGING Inslee to issue a shelter in place order.

It boggles my mind, but a perfect illustration of why we have the political situation that we have in this state even before the virus showed up.

People simply cannot handle being responsible for their own actions.

Inslee was hesitant to lock the state down since it's an election year, but if people don't follow the protocol he'll have no choice and it's not his fault.

People are going out in public. Sending their kids to friends houses. If you look around people are grouping up for recreation since they cant work. Big groups at the beach, parks, trailheads, etc.... This thing can spread like wildfire because idiots with mild symptoms thinking they have a cold when really they have corona, are walking around coughing and sneezing everywhere like knuckle dragging tarded apes. Fuckin idiots.


ETA: one of my wifes friends got quarantined because their next door neighbor sent their little girl over to play with their kid. The dad was sick and kept it to himself, so him the wife and their little girl are sick now.

Funny you mention the trailheads, the trailhead for cherry falls out here between duvall/carnation was absolutely PACKED on saturday . I am sure these folks thought it was great getting out of the house but there were so many cars it had to be a clusterfuck on the trail, not good social distancing

We went for a drive the other day, thought we would drive Alki.

It had more people than I've ever seen at Alki on a holiday. All half naked and trying to smash.


No distancing seen at all. Hundreds if not thousands.
