Many students in King County and throughout the Puget Sound region have had to shift back to remote learning temporarily as some individual schools announce pauses on in-person instruction until the latest wave of COVID-19 subsides.
This list will be updated periodically by the MyNorthwest staff. For more up-to-date information, check your school and district’s website.
