Gov. Jay Inslee announced in a press conference Monday evening that a statewide “stay-at-home” order will be in effect for at least the next two weeks. 

All gatherings and non-essential outings are prohibited, Inslee said. Going to the grocery store, pharmacy or doctor’s office are considered essential.

Going outside for a walk or bike ride, if it is essential for physical or mental health, is permitted, he said. 

Restaurants can remain open for takeout and delivery orders, Inslee said. 

Inslee has the ability to take legal action if people violate the order, he said.
