Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery

Yakima County is in Phase 1 

The Governor’s Office has released a new "Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery," COVID-19 phased recovery plan. Starting on January 11, the state will follow a regional recovery approach with every region beginning in Phase 1.  

Yakima County is included in the South Central Region along with Kittitas, Benton Franklin, Walla Walla and Columbia Counties. A region's phase will be determined by the Department of Health (DOH) and will be updated weekly.
