See below for today's COVID-19 information. Please forward as widely as you would like.
I want to hear from you, contact me anytime.

Today, I want to share my thanks to local businesses that I know are contributing directly to COVID-19 response efforts.
Thanks to Kaas Tailored for mask production; Electroimpact for working with their 3D printer and other equipment on medical face shields and ventilator port pieces; Boeing for making face shields and offering use of the Dreamlifter for transport of supplies; and Omnitec Design of Mukilteo which is manufacturing a wide variety of medical equipment for COVID-19 response. Thanks to Mukilteo's Ace Hardware which has done a great job staying in touch with our Police Department whenever protective gear is available at their store. They have been one of our main resources, outside of regional and state supplies.

I know I missed others- email me to let me know about other businesses that we can celebrate.

I am also thankful to our local restaurants, grocers, food service and delivery services that are remaining open to offer essential supplies and, sometimes, just a bright spot to look forward to. If your days are like mine, they are punctuated with looking forward to planning the next meal! I know some of us have to make cut backs, but ensuring at least one take out order every once in awhile is a way to show support to those businesses and the sacrifices businesses and employees are making.

I am also so appreciative of all delivery and postal services that are bringing supplies to our doors. They are keeping us supplied and safe at home, at a risk to their families that they never anticipated. Let's all remember to keep those orders to the essential ones.
