King County is currently in a modified Phase 2, allowing more businesses to reopen.  King County submitted a plan to the Washington State Department of Health to allow for limited reopenings of recreational, social, and business activities in accordance to Jay Inslee’s Safe Start reopening plan.  This plan was approved June 19th.  Activities may begin immediately as outlined in Phase 2.  Here is an article on King County’s Phase 2 plan.
