Gov. Jay Inslee Tuesday loosened restrictions on a range of businesses and activities, from movie theaters to restaurants to sports, under his four-part coronavirus reopening plan.

The move came after Washington this summer stopped counties from advancing to further stages of reopening under that plan.

In a news conference, Inslee said he wasn’t resuming those county-by-county reopenings, but described Tuesday’s measures as “targeted things to show how we can do this in a safe way” amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The changes come as Washington — like states across the nation — is starting to see an uptick in cases that health officials worry could worsen in the coming months.
