Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday urged Washingtonians to cancel plans for social gatherings, including Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers, citing rising rates of coronavirus infections in the state.

“Simply put, we have to rethink these holidays,” Inslee said in a televised address.

Inslee and his wife, Trudi, said their own family would forgo its traditional in-person Thanksgiving of a potluck, touch football and turkey sandwiches due to the danger of the pandemic.
