General Hygiene Practices & Tips:

  • Stay home when you are sick and avoid close contact with others.

  • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If water is not available, use hand sanitizer, with at least 60% alcohol.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

  • Avoid contact with people who are sick.

  • Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing. Immediately dispose of the tissue.


Restaurant Delivery, Take-Out & Dining Options:

Tips: We find that business Instagram’s seem to be the most up to date with what your favorite local spots may be doing during this time, but if you don’t know, give them a shout, or a call, or email. Some places are on the fence of if they will do take-out service or not. Your support could help them see how willing the community is to help them out.


We recommend you check out our Instagram page and see who we are following for their most up to date services. We don't want to leave any Seattle businesses out of our list!


  • Whole Foods, Albertsons, Safeway, Metropolitan Market, Target, PCC are changing their hours to accommodate higher risk folk, call your supermarket today

  • Support local spots over chain restaurants

  • Purchase gift cards online

  • Order take out, delivery, or catering when you can

  • Tip 20% or more on your take-out orders

  • Chinatown has been hit the hardest due to stigma and ignorance

  • Spread the word to your friends and family

  • Have an e-dinner with your friends if you are feeling isolated
