See below for our COVID-19 response in Mukilteo. Please forward as widely as you would like.

I want to hear from you, contact me anytime.

We did a virtual Town Hall today, you can watch the Facebook stream here: https://www.facebook.com/cityofmukilteo/videos/vb.270039602064/228380191639413/?type=2&theater
It was great to be able to answer questions and deliver a message out to the community.

Just like Snohomish County, all of our parks are closed today except for the 76th Street/Community Garden access to Japanese Gulch. It is too important to limit the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. We must all do better at physically distancing ourselves. Walking, running or hiking is still encouraged, as long as you are only with people that you live with.

Check out GiveWellLocal.org to find and give resources! This county-wide site has great volunteering requests, and resources for those in need.

The Health District has an updated FAQ, a great place to start when looking for COVID-19 information: https://www.snohd.org/DocumentCenter/View/3118/FAQ_coronavirus_03242020?bidId=

Because childcare is still an essential service particularly for those providing work at essential businesses, Mukilteo's Boys and Girls Club is open for extended hours for drop-ins and childcare, as they continue to observe the Health orders and state guidance. Other resources are on Discover Mukilteo athttps://discovermukilteo.org/2020/03/24/childcare-and-educational-resources/
