the general public in Washington State and creating an extreme public health risk
that may spread quickly; and

and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar declared a public health emergency for

of Washington in response to new cases of COVID-19, and the Governor

closing restaurants and others social gatherings, and, further, exercising the
Governor’s emergency powers under RCW 43.06.220 by prohibiting certain other
potentially problematic activities; and
WHEREAS, on May 31, 2020, Governor Inslee issued his Proclamation
Number 20-25.4, providing for Transition from “Stay Home – Stay Healthy” to his
“Safe Start – Stay Healthy” County-by-County Phased Reopening; and,
