Updated COVID-19 Protocols - March 25, 2021

Washington State’s phased re-opening plan is responsive to the continually changing public health reality in our region.  As such, the Dispute Resolution Center (DRC) has had a similarly fluid response, directed by the statewide guidance of the time.  Our primary interest and concern remains the health and safety of our community, staff, volunteers, and clients – in both the near- and long-term. 
​ 
The following safety precautions are in place until posted otherwise to protect the health and wellness of everyone and to curtail the further spread of illness. We are asking everyone to support these efforts. ​

• The DRC office hours are Monday – Friday, 9am - 5pm.   Current hours for the Conflict Resolution Resource Line remain 9am – 1pm.  Volunteers and visitors are advised to call (360/956-1155) prior to visiting, to ensure that someone is onsite.  
• All facilitation, training and mediation continue to be offered online. Contact us to discuss special circumstances.
• ​​Office capacity at any one time will be limited to ten people, including staff, volunteers and community members, to ensure ample space between everyone.  Everyone is asked to maintain at least six feet of physical distancing at all times. 
• Anyone with the following symptoms is asked to refrain from being onsite until fully well: chills, fever, cough, difficulty breathing and/or muscle aches.   
• Anyone onsite must maintain proper infection control procedures as guiding by hand-washing posters in the kitchen and bathrooms. 
• Staff, volunteers and visitors are required to wear a cloth face mask fully covering both nose and mouth for the entirety of their time while onsite. ​​
