People venture outdoors after stay-home order slightly eases

MUKILTEO — From beach-goers wandering the Mukilteo shoreline to masked students returning to labs at Everett Community College, incremental steps toward normal life in Snohomish County are underway.

Children pointed toward a big seal swimming just feet from the shore this week in Mukilteo, as waves crashed into the rocky beach and a white-and-green ferry boat pulled into the terminal near Lighthouse Park.

Families played near the water. A slight breeze carried the scent of saltwater toward land. Everyone kept much more than 6 feet apart.

Tuesday marked the first day the park had been open in more than a month, since the governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order went into effect. Many other city and county parks opened for daytime use, as well. Even so, many playgrounds and restrooms remain closed.

Just to get out. I’ll have to look and find if WA has a listing for which parks are open.

I was thinking of checking those charter boat excursions where they take a few people out but now that I think about it I doubt those are going yet.

You would have to check.
Hard to see effective social distancing on the decks though.

Where people congregate to get out of the cold. I think you’re right, I just need to call one of them.
