EVERETT, Wash — With coronavirus largely contained, officials in Snohomish County held their final media briefing of the pandemic on Tuesday, 539 days after America's first known case of coronavirus was reported at an Everett hospital.
It was a moment when Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers was finally able to pause for a moment and reflect on all we've been through.
"This has been a challenge to all of us like no other we've ever experienced," he said. "We are stronger and more resilient today as a result."
