KUOW Special: Five years later, the COVID pandemic is still with us

Five years ago, Washington found itself at the leading edge of a once-in-a-century pandemic.  The rapid spread of COVID, and the lockdowns that followed, shaped our communities, our health and our work for years to come. It also taught us a lot about ourselves and what it means to be resilient.  In this hour-long special, we reflect on how the pandemic changed our region and how its effects still show up in our everyday lives.
