Governor lifts indoor mask mandate March 12

February 28, 2022

Just a week after his original announcement, Gov. Jay Inslee announced today that the lift of some indoor mask requirements will now start on March 12.

This new date does not change any other aspect of the updated mask requirements Inslee announced last week. Masks will still be required in certain settings including health care, corrections facilities, and long-term care facilities. The Washington State Department of Health will be issuing new guidance for K-12 schools next week so schools can prepare to implement updated safety protocols.
