Skagit County to Remain in Phase 2 of Safe Start plan

Phase 2 allows for the reopening of some in-person retail, professional services, personal services and restaurants with up to fifty percent capacity. Businesses must be able to comply with issued guidelines on physical distancing and hygiene. Additionally, you are now allowed to gather with five or fewer people from outside of your immediate household per week. Gatherings with more people are still prohibited and considered unsafe. For more information and complete guidance on requirements for businesses to reopen, please visit www.governor.wa.gov or www.skagitcounty.net/coronavirus

The City’s primary goals are to protect employee safety and public health, while ensuring critical City services continue. Community transmission of COVID-19 is happening in Skagit County. It is our duty to take responsibility for the well-being of our community members and strictly follow the guidelines set by Skagit County Public Health and the CDC to protect the most vulnerable in our community.
