2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 we have closed our Mount Vernon, WA office at 2021 E. College Way, Suite 101. Business operations will continue as usual Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM Pacific.
Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a virus strain spreading from person to person. People who have been diagnosed with novel coronavirus have reported symptoms that may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.
The Washington State Department of Health has information about COVID-19 on its website, including resources and recommendations for schools, health care providers, and employers.
