Washington Stay-At-Home Order Will Be Extended, Inslee Confirms

OLYMPIA, WA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday confirmed Washington's stay-at-home order would continue beyond May 4, keeping strict social distancing measures in place across the state.

The governor's "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" initiative first went into effect on March 23 and was set to expire next week, after an initial extension.

Inslee did not provide a date for when his updated order would end, saying more details on proposed timelines would be shared Friday.

"The fundamental principle we're following is: let's just do this once and get it over with," Inslee said. "I think one way to look at it, it's much better to do something 100% one time, than have to sacrifice 90% twice."
