Vaccine And Phase 3 Updates For Everett And Snohomish County

Good news for those wanting to take mom out for a meal on Mother’s Day this Sunday. Restaurants will not be rolled back in seating capacity. Today Governor Inslee put a pause on rolling forward or backward from Phase 3 for Everett and Snohomish County. The decision was made in consultation with the Department of Health, and reflects current data suggesting Washington’s fourth wave has hit a plateau. At the end of two weeks Snohomish County will be re-evaluated.

“We are at the intersection of progress and failure, and we cannot veer from the path of progress,” Inslee said Tuesday. “Our economy is beginning to show early signs of growth thanks to some of our great legislative victories and we know vaccines are the ticket to further reopening — if we adhere to public health until enough people are vaccinated.”

That also means plans will stand for the opening day of the Everett Farmers Market in downtown Everett Sunday and the opening Homestand for Aquasox baseball beginning Tuesday May, 11th.

There’s also news on the vaccination front as Snohomish Health District announces appointments are still preferred but no longer required at the mass vaccination sites in Everett and Snohomish County. Here’s that information.

Starting Wednesday, May 5, all mass vaccination sites operated by the Snohomish County Vaccine Taskforce will begin offering on-site registration for people who do not have a prior appointment.

People may arrive at the sites during open hours to receive their vaccine even if they do not have an appointment. Vaccinations will be provided as long as doses are available. They will be asked to register on-site for their shot using a digital or paper form.

The taskforce still highly recommends registering in advance. This reserves a dose for that appointment. Vaccines for those without an appointment will be given on a first come, first served basis.

Signing up for an appointment is easy. It can be done online using the registration links at http://bit.ly/snocovaccine, or over the phone by calling 425-339-5278 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The hours of the vaccination sites for May 5 through May 11 are as follows:

• Arlington Airport: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday-Friday and Monday-Tuesday (Pfizer)
• Ash Way Park & Ride Lynnwood: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday (Pfizer)

Appointments are not being offered this week at the Angel Of The Winds Arena mass vaccination site. The taskforce did not receive allocation of Johnson & Johnson for the mass vaccination sites.
