I've been following that and it's nice to see they moved Washington's peak up to the 2nd, which means we're 4 days past the peak here.
I think Inslee has handled this as well as anyone could have. The only mistake he made was made irrelevant one day later. He initially only canceled school for King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties rather than the entire state. That was naive thinking, but he reversed course the next day.
He has a press conference scheduled for 2:30 with the State Superintendent of Schools and I'm guessing schools are going to be closed for the rest of the year.
It was also announced this morning that UW is starting trials on hydroxychloroquine.
EDIT: and, as expected, all in school learning for the year has been canceled.
