"Safe Start Washington Governor Jay Inslee Governor Jay Inslee, in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Health, has established a data-driven approach to reopen Washington and modify physical distancing measures while minimizing the health impacts of COVID-19. This approach reduces the risk of COVID-19 to Washington’s most vulnerable populations and preserves capacity in our health care system, while safely opening up businesses and resuming gatherings, travel, shopping, and recreation. The plan involves assessing COVID-19 activity in the state along with health care system readiness, testing capacity and availability, case and contact investigations, and ability to protect high-risk populations." - Quoted from: https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/SafeStartWA_4May20_1pm.pdf

Please email us an image with a word on it showing how much you care for the graduating class! Feel free to be wearing a business logo/in front of your business just make sure you are close enough that we can read the paper. Example would be "proud", "we love you", "congratulations".
