Plaintiffs,
v.
WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES,
et al.,
Defendants.

17

This matter comes before the Court upon the Parties’ Motion Seeking Additional Time

18

to Complete Crisis Intervention Training. Having considered the pleadings in the court file and

19

otherwise being fully informed:

20

THE COURT FINDS that the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health

21

crisis that has resulted in a state of emergency being declared in the state of Washington. Before

22

the pandemic, the Department was on track to produce and deliver 40-hour Crisis Intervention

23

Trainings timely and as contemplated by the Contempt Settlement Agreement and Final Phase

24

One Implementation Plan in this matter. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, made delivering

25

these trainings in person impossible, and the unique nature of the trainings is such that they are

26

better done in person rather than online.
