"The County Commissioners press release dated May 4 allows short term rentals to completely resume their normal business operations. By the County's own study, we have at least 1500 short term rentals in the unincorporated areas of the county, with more than 800 in the greater Leavenworth area (where I live).In the press release there is no attempt to explain how this is consistent with Governor's Inslee's phased approach to re-opening . On its face, it appears to directly contradict two aspects of Phase 1: "only essential travel" and no gatherings.IT EVEN CONTRADICTS PHASE 2: "limited non essential travel within proximity of your home" and "gather with no more than 5 people outside your household." Many nightly rentals accept more than 5 people at a time. But there is nothing in their order limiting nightly rentals in a way consistent with Phase 2." - Bruce Williams
