Dear Friends and Neighbors, 

Over the last several weeks, we've seen many significant announcements from
the Washington State Department of Health and our own Seattle King County
Public Health team regarding the state of our COVID-19 response. I want to
be sure to share the most up to date information with our communities, as
well remind you about my upcoming town hall tomorrow, March 1, at 6:00 pm on
Zoom.

Remember to tune into our first town hall of 2022 tomorrow at 6:00 pm. You
can find the link on my website here

far and wide with your friends and neighbors - the more I hear from
residents of the 8th District, the better I can advocate for their
priorities before the Council.

You likely heard that the King County Board of Health recently repealed the
helmet law

riding. However, the enforcement of this law targets and harms BIPOC riders
and riders experiencing homelessness disproportionately. We must encourage
safe practices without relying on law enforcement, which is why I secured
$221,000 to support helmet access programs through Seattle King County
Public Health during a supplemental budget last fall.

Current COVID-19 Guidance

With both local and state guidelines changing rapidly, I am sharing the
current requirements around masks and vaccine verification: 

. People are not required to wear masks at large outdoor events such as
sports games or concerts - learn more on the Washington State Department of
Health website

. Washington will end the state mask mandate on March 12 - this mandate
covers schools and businesses. 
. Starting March 1, the vaccine verification requirement

businesses will be allowed to implement their own requirements. 

I will be sure to update our communities as guidance changes in the coming
weeks. I look forward to hearing from you at my town hall tomorrow - this
will be a great opportunity to make your voice heard about the most pressing
issues for you and your neighbors. 

Stay safe and healthy,
