OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday outlined a grim scenario in which hospitals can no longer provide adequate care for patients if the spread of the coronavirus is left unchecked.

As COVID-19 hospitalizations ascend to dangerous highs in Snohomish County, and across Washington, local and state officials are preparing to be overwhelmed, as they were at the start of the pandemic.

Every COVID metric is heading in the wrong direction:

• The two-week case rate continues to climb. During the 14-day period ending Saturday, the county recorded 304 new cases per 100,000 residents — up from 278 last week. The rate statewide is nearly identical.
