Dear Western Community,
As you likely know, the spread of coronavirus continues to be a rapidly evolving situation. There have been a few additional cases in King and Snohomish counties attributed to coronavirus disease, which you have likely heard about in the news by now. I want to share with you our ongoing work to ensure that Western is prepared to deal with this issue.
