I'm deeply saddened @NancyWorden passed. The world has lost a powerful bold artist & feminist. Her narrative jewelry was a revelation & inspired this video collaboration w/ her. @comofarmers. RIP, Nancy. @Passing_Torch @SNAGmetalsmith @danacadesign https://t.co/qNy65VLesH

People have entered survival mode. That means they’re mostly fending for themselves and may be less concerned about how their behavior might affect others.

Keep up the good work, Washingtonians!

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Washington, you have responded to the call to stay home. That means we should have more good news to share. But know this:

If we relax now, we risk undoing all the progress we’ve made together.

Now more than ever - Stay home. Stay healthy.
