"3/31/2020To the Attorney General of the State of Washington Mr. Rob Mc Kenna,I am a current outside sales employee of TruGreen located at 402 Valley Ave NW in Puyallup Washington. I knock on residents doors and solicit them to purchase lawn,tree,and bush treatments from TruGreen. I notified TruGreen about the Governors decree that was put in order to address the coronavirus pandemic. As you know due to the nature of this pandemic Governor Jay Inslee issued this emergency decree to stop the spread of the virus and to stop all unnecessary exposures to the coronavirus. Governor Jay Inslee issued a decree stating that ALL non essential businesses close for 14 days. On the day Governor Jay Inslee ordered this decree I informed TruGreen HR and Staff about this decree and how lawn services are not listed on the Governors emergency decree as an essential business. TruGreen Branch Manager Phillip Griffin of the Puyallup TruGreen location told me that TruGreen is an essential business so they will continue to provide lawn services such as seeding, aeration, and lime treatments...this is a blatant disregard to the health ,wellbeing and safety of the public and to our elected officials in the state of Washington. Today they are still open and operational. In fact upon notifying HR of TruGreen and Phillip Griffin at the Puyallup Branch about TruGreen breaking the law and not following the emergency decree Governor Jay Inslee put in this was TruGreen’s response-[TruGreen] Re voicemail.amr- customer in waiting.pngAs you can see Vanity from TruGreen HR requested that “ this message be deleted and all copies be destroyed including attachments “.If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at Patnation1@icloud. Or at 420 S 321st PL # H-6 in Federal Way,WA. Respectfully,Francina Sanchez-Reddick" - Francina Sanchez-Reddick
