Snohomish County winds down emergency response to COVID-19

EVERETT — For the past 500-plus days, a large room in a south Everett office building has been ground zero for the decisions that shaped the pandemic response in Snohomish County.

Inside, 199 people from 18 public agencies and private nonprofits — including the Snohomish Health District, emergency management, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, human services, fire departments and city governments — worked together on the problems, big and small, presented by COVID-19.

On Friday, the county deactivated its Emergency Coordination Center as Snohomish County, the state and many parts of the country emerge from the pandemic. Most members of the teams that filled the center each day are back to their previous responsibilities around the county.

However, the coronavirus isn’t going away, Biermann said. A select few will remain in the center to maintain what’s left of the county’s response and plan for what’s next.

1. Wrong Move

Infections are up 50% in Washington State. It's only a matter of time until it comes roaring back.

2. I believe infections are up by a lot among unvaccinated not vaccinated

any restrictions must be targeted towards unvaccinated.
