ALL STOP! WDFW Closes ALL water access sites!
« on: March 24, 2020, 07:20:13 PM »
They just closed ALL water access sites for at least 2 weeks! :bash:

But don't fret BIKE PATHS ARE STILL OPEN!!! Doubt they'll be crowded at all!

State's playing us. They already got our $$. But they need to keep the weed, tobacco and alcohol taxes rolling in. They'll lift in in April to get people to buy the new license.

Won't the private accesses potentially be packed if the wdfw access sites are closed?

Like on potholes, couldn't people launch at Mardon and not the other various places?
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

 Yes, but the order bans all social, spiritual and recreational activities. I suppose you could get around it if you are solo.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Exactly! It's absolute asinine thinking...exactly what you would expect!

You bought your license for the year already?   :sry:

? Better ask our wonderful governor for clarification on his "go outside, hike, bicycle" comments then.

I just ordered my son's free fishing license, we'll have one rod out at least.  I'm waiting on the rest.

From the gov's own medium page:
https://medium.com/wagovernor/inslee-announces-stay-home-stay-healthy-order-4891a7511f5e
The proclamation states it’s still safe for people to go outside as long as they remain at least six feet from each other. Grocery stores, doctor’s offices and other essential businesses will remain open. People can still participate in activities such as bike rides, gardening, and dog walking — as long as they follow social distancing rules.
