COVID19 - are we legal to be open in Washington?

[Betsy112]

I cannot find anything concrete.  I want to know if I am legally ok to keep my cabins open for rent in Washington State under Inslee's current order?  So far I have stayed open based on the following excerpts from Inslee's most recent order.  I am assuming if it was not legal for us to be open AirBnB would shut us down?

"This Proclamation shall not prohibit operating a single owner business with no in-person, on-site public interaction”

“This prohibition shall not apply to activities and gatherings solely including those people who are part of a single household or residential living unit.”

“This prohibition does not apply to businesses consisting exclusively of employees or contractors performing business activities at their home or residence, and who do not engage in in-person contact with clients.”

@Betsy112  No, Airbnb isn't going to shut down listings wherever there are lock-down orders and such in place. It's an international platform- do you really expect them to keep abreast of every policy in place by local governments all over the world?

It's up to you to comply with your local orders. It doesn't appear that you would be contraveneing your local directives by continuing to accept bookings, but please consider the fact that whether it is safe for guests to shelter in place at your listings isn't the only consideration- they would have to travel ot get there, which is irresponsible right now. Why don't you sign up for the program offering housing to health workers and other essential personnel that is being offered? Those people will understand the precautions necessary in moving from point A to point B.
