    In my travels was surprised to see people in the Wa. parks; did some looking and on24 June things updated in terms of use in our state: From Wa. Parks: https://parks.state.wa.us/1181/Parks-opening list of who is open for day use or for camping

    * Parks with camping open at half capacity are denoted by *(50% capacity)*. (Hi Governor Jay Inslee)

    On the National level: https://www.recreation.gov/

    Where to go to sell things and pair down during a pandemic
    -----

    * The “Friends and Family Discount in the Covid Era”
    * Amazon: the megalith
    * Ebay: Well known for good or for bad
    * Offer-Up; a mixed response
    * Facebook Marketplace- yup

    Opportunity Cost of Selling

    * Time spent taking photos, listing item online, responding to inquiries
    * Packing the item
    * Standing in line to ship or drive to meet buyer
    * Online fees

    Alternative to selling

    * Observe who might find joy with your item
    * Give it to them or offer a friends & family discount
    * Pay it forward

    Another mindset

    Money comes and goes, money will be acquired as time goes on, money will be used to purchase specific items

    Mount Baker wilderness open for business? How do I know if a site is closed or open?
    National forests and grasslands are posting updated information on their web pages. Find your national forest and grassland by clicking on our Interactive Visitor Map (https://www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html)

    * *Emergancy closure map:* https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8e69381e35144962a835ee59aafba153


    What risks are associated with the activity you have chosen to do?

    * Law enforcement, search and rescue, and hospitals have limited capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    * If the site you have chosen is full, have some backup options in mind that will allow you to maintain @CDC social distancing guidelines.
    * How will you help minimize pressure on smaller communities adjacent to the forest that have limited resources? Restaurants, rest stops, and trailhead bathrooms are likely to be closed. Do you have the food, water, and fuel you need for the day? Do you have the supplies you need to hygienically pack out your waste?
    * We know the outdoors are calling, but the decisions you make can affect everyone. If there was ever a time to recognize our #interdependence, this is it.

    Life and work in the Covid-Era

    *Chris*

    * And so it begins: “According to information released Tuesday, April 21, by online data company SafeGraph.com (https://www.safegraph.com/), 41.2% of Whatcom County residents did not leave their homes on Saturday, April 18. Before coronavirus spread to the region, SafeGraph reported an average of 26.5% of people in the county stayed home on a daily basis, meaning Whatcom has seen a 14.7 percentage point improvement. Those numbers rank Whatcom 16th among Washington state’s 39 counties for the percentage of people staying home and 14th in the state for improvement, according to the data. - From the Bellingham Herald (https://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/coronavirus/article242201836.html)
