COVID-19 Information and Resources
Update June 16, 2021:
King County mask Directive lifts on June 29. 70% of residents age 16 and older have completed their vaccine series. That means that on June 29, 70% of residents 16 and older will be protected from COVID-19 through vaccination and the King County mask directive will end. (It takes about two weeks after completing the vaccine series to be considered fully protected.) Once the King County mask directive ends, the Washington state mask guidance will be in effect in King County.
Getting vaccinated just got easier! Thousands of appointments available.
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.
Click on “Get vaccinated” to see more options, including walk-in vaccination (no appointment needed) at the Kent and Auburn sites.

Get vaccinated. Fully vaccinated people can now do more things safely.
Whether you are fully vaccinated or not, continue wearing a mask in indoor public spaces – most important is a snug fit!

Get tested if you’ve traveled, attended a social gathering, or been in a crowded, indoor setting.
