Anecdotally, I've started seeing a lot more people wearing masks in supermarkets in WA after the governor issued a decree mandating them. When it was a recommendation, too many were automatically dismissing it for political reasons.

Out of curiosity, when was this and did not he supermarkets change policy on mask usage?

The policy was to require masks even before the mandate, but it wasn't really enforced, from what I've seen. The mandate went into effect sometime this summer.

(Keep in mind that this is a purple rural-turned-suburban district in WA. I didn't notice much difference in more urban areas.)

North Bend. It's in King County, but at the easternmost edge of it. The legislative district actually spans the Cascades, so it's generally bluer to the west and redder to the east of here; we're in the middle.
