As state and national efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 continue, the Washington state Department of Transportation is temporarily suspending the free coffee volunteer program at safety rest areas. The suspension began March 16 until further notice.

Statewide, 37 of 47 safety rest areas offer the free coffee program. This is a continuation of efforts to slow the spread of the virus through social distancing, minimizing touch points and limiting close personal contact.
