The sheriff of the third largest county in Washington state said he will not enforce Gov. Jay Inslee’s order requiring people stay at home unless they’re conducting a so-called essential activity.

Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney said he was waiting to make an announcement for Inslee to release details on reopening the state but decided he couldn’t wait any longer.
