Anonymous22 days ago

Washington state has recorded 26 measles cases across four counties in just the first two months of 2026—more than double the 12 cases reported in all of 2025—with Snohomish County's 14 cases making it the epicenter of the state's outbreak. As the U.S. surpasses 1,281 confirmed cases nationally and health officials brace for summer travel and FIFA World Cup crowds in the Puget Sound region, the crisis highlights how declining vaccination rates and vaccine hesitancy have eroded the herd immunity that once kept measles at bay.
