Snoqualmie mayor tests positive for COVID-19

Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the city.

Larson had a fever and a cough, and was tested for the novel coronavirus on March 16 at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. He received the positive test results on Sunday, the city said. Larson has been self-isolating for 10 days and plans to continue to do so until all of his symptoms have gone away. His family has also been self isolating, according to the city.

“I do not know anyone with COVID-19 and do not know where I contracted the illness,” Larson said in a statement. “My positive test results underscore that this is an invisible threat. I cannot stress enough the importance of our community sheltering at home at this time.”

According to the city, Larson was not at City Hall when he started showing symptoms, but the city plans to deeply disinfect the building.
