PH Coll 1621.LarnerA39During the COVID-19 pandemic in Seattle, many small businesses were forced to temporarily close. Many suffered damage and theft as vandals began breaking store windows and defacing storefronts with graffiti. Store and local restaurant owners were forced to shutter their windows and doors with plywood as the COVID-19 Seattle wide shutdown continued. Neighborhood communities looked for ways to brighten up the shuttered businesses and to support local artists. Gradually many of the plywood shutters were converted to works of art, transforming neighborhoods with messages of hope, love and support.
The first confirmed case of the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States was announced by the Washington State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on January 21, 2020. The patient had recently returned from Wuhan, China, on January 15, 2020, where a pneumonia outbreak caused by the coronavirus started in December 2019.
This case marked the beginning of the coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak in Washington State and the beginning of a radical change in the lives of the citizens of Washington and the rest of the United States. The virus rapidly spread through the population so that within a month, businesses were closed and boarded up, unemployment soared to record highs as people lost their jobs overnight, schools and public events were canceled. People began stocking up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer and other products leaving grocery store shelves bare of some products. By March 23rd, Governor Jay Inslee directed Washington residents to stay home by executive order with exceptions for essential critical infrastructure workers. Until mid-March, Washington State had the highest number of confirmed cases and the highest number per capita of any state in the country, when it was surpassed by New York State as the virus spread throughout the country
