Kent Bowl was packed last Friday night. It's busy season for the Washington state bowling alley—the temperatures are still chilly and football’s over, which means people are looking to entertain themselves inside. In many ways, it was like any other late-winter night: dozens of bowlers lining up to get their slick-soled shoes and candy-colored bowling balls, blue cans of Bud Light dotting the border of the lanes, the rhythm of pins crashing down. Everything was normal, except for one major difference: Less than a week earlier, Washington Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency over a deadly outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel strain of coronavirus currently crashing its way across the globe.
