"Loni Morina of Morina Homes (license #MORINHC840RE) and his crew continue working at this residential house at 3809 30th Ave W in Seattle/Magnolia -- non-essential construction. They've been working here since March 23, 2020 when Governor Inslee initiated the stay-at-home order, despite our telling them they they are in violation of the order, physically handed the order, told to leave -- but they continue. Neighbors continue taking photos, videos, and taking down license plates of Morina and his crews working here, even as we are following stay-at-home orders. What is worse is that an L&I inspector called me yesterday to say Morina and his wife told him that Morina only there working by himself or waiting for deliveries. Really — for the past month? It’s simply not true. From early morning to evening — 5 and 6pm there’s drilling, sawing, and work crews present. Today (4/17/20) Morina showed up early with a crew and flatbed truck, working on the third story deck and railings in close proximity to one another and with no face masks; we have photos of them working. Why does no one deal with this? Officially warn them? Fine them? My friend at CBS News died of COVID-19; my former colleague at KIRO-TV just got off an intubator with COVID-19, and my mother is in a nursing home with COVID-19. Construction crews in violation of the governor's order are the weak link in the system -- and possibly spreading the virus to those we love. Please address!!!" - Helen Holter
