Rules issued Wednesday allow the restart of spiritual services -- limits on the number of worshipers

OLYMPIA — Weddings, funerals and religious services can restart in a limited fashion across the state with new guidelines issued Wednesday by Gov. Jay Inslee.

Up to 100 people will be allowed to congregate on the grounds of churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship for services, nuptials and funerals, according to new guidance.

For counties in the second phase of the state’s reopening, faith-based organizations can now host events indoors at 25% capacity, or fewer than 50 people, whichever is less.

All employees, members and visitors are required to wear face coverings before, during and after a service, whether indoors or outdoors.
