Welcome Back to Business, Washington!
Governor Inslee released a statement and updated guidance on Tuesday as part of the state's full reopening yesterday, June 30.
 
“Washington has come a long way since the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the country was found in our state January 2020, and that is in no small part due to Washingtonians’ dedication and resilience in protecting themselves and their communities throughout the pandemic...Let’s keep it up, Washington – get vaccinated and stay safe.” said the Governor in his press release.

Three Small Business Lessons Learned for Your Post-COVID Return
This has certainly been a weird year. As we begin to adjust to our new reality, there are some things you could be doing in your business that may help you out in the post-COVID time. We can’t say it will ever be a return to normal. We’ve lost our innocence in some ways. Preparing for the worst in the past would never have (completely) readied us for this. But hopefully we’ve learned a thing or two to help us with future business.
