Gov. Jay Inslee announced on April 24 plans to allow some construction projects to occur as a part of a “Phase 1 Construction Restart” plan.

The addendum to Proclamation 20-25 (Stay Home – Stay Healthy Order) allows construction to occur as long as projects comply with a number of safety and health requirements that were identified by the Governor as part of the addendum.

These requirements include maintaining at least six feet of distance between workers at job sites. A more detailed explanation of the requirements is outlined in the Governor’s Phase 1 Construction Restart COVID-19 Job Site Requirements.

The City of Bothell shares the governor’s commitment to ensuring the health and safety of workers. The requirements will also assist in ensuring that city inspectors can safely perform inspections of construction projects. Development Services department staff are prepared to inspect construction projects that are implementing the governor’s requirements.
