KCSO response to Stay Home order

information from the King County Sheriff's Office

This evening, Governor Jay Inslee ordered all Washington State residents to stay home for a minimum of two weeks in an effort to flatten the curve of new COVID-19 infections. All non-essential businesses must close within 48 hours.

So what is our role in this? The Governor is not asking law enforcement, including the King County Sheriff's Office, to actively enforce the stay at home order and we see no need to do so.
