Revenue to close one day a week through July

OLYMPIA, Wash. – June 26, 2020 – In accordance with Governor’s Directive 20-08 regarding furloughs and general wage increases, the Department of Revenue will be closed one day each week through most of July.

Revenue will be closed on the following dates: July 2, 10, 17, and 24, 2020. These dates are in addition to the July 3 Independence Day closure. Revenue’s online services continue to be available at dor.wa.gov.

These closures are part of a statewide effort to mitigate the financial impact to the state General Fund as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Gov. Jay Inslee recently mandated more than 40,000 state employees take one unpaid furlough day per week through July 25.
