This is a very interesting article.
Inslee did close things down early. He closed 3 countries down the first of March with closing the rest of the state a couple weeks later. I'm into the 3rd month of shutdown.
The data is raw and isn't even complete in coming in. The pandemic is still happening so we won't have a totally full picture of everything until it's over.
The data they do have is very interesting. We didn't see a spike in deaths the way other states saw. Even though the first reported case and death was here, about 10 miles from my home.
In February people were predicting for Washington to become America's Wuhan province.
That didn't happen.

Washington seems to be avoiding the dramatic nationwide spike in deaths during coronavirus pandemic
As the nation’s overall death toll soared past historical averages, preliminary data shows a less dramatic trend in Washington during the first months of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
