Based on what I see, Insley is being ignored

I was out and about this week in SW WA. Came away with the feeling that Olympia is being ignored. Very few masks, groups having lunch in the park, and much to the frustration of Wal-Mart, the directional flow arrows are totally ignored. Since restaurants can't serve indoor diners, I couldn't help notice the groups of diners enjoying their lunch on the benches just outside the doors. Heck, some patio tables have mysteriously appeared in parking lots.

In reality, there has been little to no covid impact in Pacific, wahkiakum, and cowlitz counties. Although prohibited, fishing still happens, as does beachcombing and camping (I'm guilty on all three counts)

Perhaps Governor Insley should consider separate policies for Seattle and rural counties since their impacts from covid are vastly different.

Wahkiakum is pretty sparsely populated. Pacific has slightly more people.

Did some work down there a couple years ago.

Oh and it's spelled Inslee.

Know the two cases in Wahkiakum, the neighbors are keeping an eye on them. They brought it in with them as a vacation souvenir. Probably will get crap about it for decades......It's a small community with a long memory.

Seriously though, the attitude is changing here. Inslee could gain some points by recognizing we are vastly different than Seattle.

Android spell check got me on the Gov's name, sorry.
