13 unvaccinated firefighters are cleared to return to work
MONROE — Thirteen firefighters who have been out of a job for six months because they did not comply with Gov. Jay Inslee’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate may soon be back at work.
Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue’s Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to clear a path for them to return to duty.
The district serves about 181,000 residents in Lake Stevens, Monroe and adjacent unincorporated areas of southeast Snohomish County.
About 92% of the district’s 170 firefighters are fully vaccinated. The 13 who declined to get vaccinated have been on leave — paid and unpaid — since October.
