OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A group of Pierce County Democrats are threatening the possibility of a special legislative session following the governor’s recent implementation of a pause that left their county stuck in a phase with tighter COVID-19 restrictions. The letter, sent Thursday afternoon, was signed by eight Democrats in the House and Senate and four Republicans. It comes the same day that the Washington Hospitality Association launched a petition to follow California’s lead and fully reopen the state on June 15. Gov. Jay Inslee has not given a timeframe on when the state might fully reopen, citing the unpredictability of the virus. Inslee said in a statement Thursday that Pierce County was not treated unfairly.
