Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday he would extend Washington’s stay-home order through May 31, but is seeking ways for some businesses to open before then, as he and state officials try to keep the new coronavirus from roaring back.

Inslee said Washington’s businesses would reopen in four phases, with some types of businesses potentially opening back up before May 31. Examples would be allowing retail stories to do curbside pickup, as well as letting automobile sales and car washes resume business, with some restrictions. The governor also intends to allow drive-in spiritual services.
