Episode description

KIRO Radio's Dave Ross and reporter Aaron Granillo recap Governor Inslee's reopening of bowling alleys and U-Pick farms, as well as a glimmer of hope: COVID cases are trending just slightly downwards again in Washington state.

Another thing that's declining just slightly? The number of people on unemployment in our state. If you're still waiting for payments and can't get through the phone lines, Dave Ross wants to help.

And it seems like wearing a mask, social distancing, and washing your hands might actually be working. CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield says these public health measures are reducing the number of deaths in the US. How long did it take us to learn this lesson? Dave digs into the archives.
