 What’s your favorite kind of book? We’re partial to Pacific Northwest history of course, but we’ll take a good mountain mystery or coastal caper any day.

 The City of Seattle has splashed out a second round of Welcome Back Weeks in September!

The COVID-19 delta variant is spreading fast. Starting Sept. 13, a statewide mandate goes into effect that requires facial coverings at outdoor events with 500 or more people. A similar mandate is already in place in King County for everyone five and older. Masks continue to be required in public indoor spaces and are strongly recommended (but not required) in crowded outdoor settings where people cannot remain at least six feet apart. For the most up-to-date information, visit King County's masking guidance.
The best protection against COVID-19 is to get vaccinated. Vaccinations are available to everyone 12 and older regardless of insurance, citizenship, or immigration status. The City of Seattle is no longer offering COVID-19 vaccinations but there are plenty of places to get one. See below for some options.
If you need language interpretation, help finding a vaccination or testing site, or ADA accommodation, call the King County COVID-19 Call Center at (206) 477-3977, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19, get a free test, with or without an appointment, regardless of immigration or insurance status.
