Public Health Hosts Free Mask Giveaway In Renton
Families will be able to receive two reusable cloth masks per family member.
RENTON, WA — If you're a King County resident looking for a place to get some simple, effective protection against the coronavirus: look no further.
On Tuesday, Public Health - Seattle & King County will be hosting a mask distribution event, giving away free cloth masks to anyone who needs one. It'll be hosted at King County's Black River Facility at 900 Oakesdale Ave SW in Renton.
The giveaway runs from 1 to 5 p.m. and is a drive thru event: to get a mask all visitors have to do is pull up to the Amazon Treasure Truck parked in the lot outside the facility, and tell the staff how many family members you have. Public health says visitors will then receive two cloth masks per family member in need, with a limit of 12 masks per vehicle.
