COVID-19 Information and Resources
The State of Washington has removed most COVID-19 restrictions, but COVID-19 is still present in our communities. If you're not vaccinated, masks are still required in most settings. For more information about what's required, please see our Safe Reopening FAQ and blog. We are working to update our webpages to reflect these changes.
Getting vaccinated is easy!
Anyone age 12 and over is eligible to get vaccinated. King County residents can get vaccinated at no cost at any vaccination site, including in Kent, Auburn, Seattle, Renton, Redmond, Shoreline, and Snoqualmie Valley. You can also get vaccinated at local pharmacies and through many healthcare providers.
To register at the sites in Kent and Auburn (open to everyone 12+ years): yourcovidvaccine.kingcounty.gov.

Take these actions to help control the pandemic and support a safe reopening.
The best protection is to get vaccinated. Fully vaccinated people can now do more things safely and are helping reduce COVID-19 in the community.
Fully vaccinated people are no longer required to wear masks in many settings. However, Public Health – Seattle & King County is recommending that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks in indoor public settings like grocery, retail, theaters, and entertainment establishments. COVID-19 transmission is increasing largely due to a corresponding increase in activities, and the spread of the more contagious Delta variant. Masking in high-risk indoor public settings helps to protect everyone, including those that currently aren't able to be protected by the vaccine such as children under twelve, and those who are immune suppressed.
Get tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who tests positive.
Keep it small and outdoors for activities that involve people who are unvaccinated. The virus spreads easily indoors, so businesses and organizations can help by improving indoor air circulation and filtration.
