Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell announced the COVID-19 Civil Emergency Proclamation will end on Oct. 31, aligning with Gov.'s decision to end the statewide state of emergency on the same date. Inslee made his announcement on Sept. 8.
"Our city has been working under an emergency proclamation for nearly 1,000 days as we responded to a new pandemic and unprecedented resulting challenges," said Harrell. "While the impacts of the pandemic continue to be felt by our neighbors and communities, it is thanks to our city’s strong response – including our high vaccination rate and strong healthcare system – that we can continue moving toward recovery and revitalization.
