However, note that Washington State does not recognize Columbus Day as a state holiday for state offices, so many state-level services may remain open.

So what's open on Monday?

The majority of retail stores, grocery stores, drugstores, and gas stations are likely open.

Public transit is expected to be running, and parks, solid waste/transfer stations are all open.

So there are plenty of places open this coming Monday, just not the usual culprits on a holiday.

If you do have Monday off, enjoy your day, and if you are working on Monday, we salute you.
