“The health and wellbeing of families and communities are being impacted—and young people, including teens and young adults, are especially vulnerable. They may be experiencing stress due to concerns about their own safety and the wellbeing of their friends and family, anxiety about current and future circumstances, and being physically distanced at a time in their lives when family and friends are important influencers and supports.”

Our firefighters are working ahead of the projected path of the fire, clearing brush that could fuel the fire.
The fire is the second largest in state history. It covers an area almost the size of Los Angeles.

The tide was low that day, so there was a good walking surface on the smooth, hard packed sand. Braver souls waded into the cold waters - those are probably the guys who wear Bermuda shorts and sandals all winter.
Cooper's hawks and sharp-shinned hawks are everywhere right now. The beach makes for good hunting at low tide.
Ospreys are on the hunt for fish, cruising low above the waters and ready to dive at the first sign of prey.
You can watch birds like ospreys taking off and landing, fishing, diving - a full range of activities and a lot of great photo ops!
Speaking of taking off and landing, this great blue heron displays its wing span as it departs from its perch.
This family found some clear sand for sitting and digging, close to the water.
"As we all learn to wear masks when we’re heading into a public setting, we’re starting to see progress in defeating the spread of COVID-19, and this partnership between Safeway and UFCW 21 will help get more masks into the hands of people throughout King County," said Executive Constantine.
"We appreciate this partnership with King County to make certain that everyone has access to a quality cloth mask, and are especially grateful for the customers who so quickly adapted to wearing a mask during shopping to help protect our associates and others in the store," said Sara Osborne, director of external affairs for Safeway, Seattle division.

It has been CRISTA’s experience that financing and operating a viable skilled nursing care center has become increasingly challenging for all providers, and particularly for single facility operators such as CRISTA.
While CRISTA is blessed to currently hold a Four-Star Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the call to meet or exceed ever-developing quality and safety requirements while adapting to modified reimbursement payment models designed to reduce Federal costs has proven unsustainable for CRISTA.
After “multiple” residents of a wing at a CRISTA Senior Living center in Shoreline tested positive for the virus, officials there arranged on March 29 to test everyone who lived or worked on that wing, symptoms or no.But the virus had beaten them to the punch: 26 residents and 16 staff had COVID-19, the tests revealed.

By 4pm the lanes were open, the emergency vehicles were gone and it was all left up to the tow truck.
There were no reports of emergency transport.
