Personally, I will not be wearing one. This country was founded on the premise that laws must be enacted via a legislative process - not a dictator issuing an edict (you might be familiar with that little nuisance of a phrase "no taxation without representation". There would - literally - be no United States if people didn't feel strongly enough about rule-by-fiat to rebel [and, make no mistake - they rebelled for very little in the grand sense. Most of the odious laws, taxes and duties that the colonists took issue with were repealed prior to the Boston Tea Party - the Tea Act was the only remaining thorn in the side of most colonials]).

Inslee is not a King, or a Duke, or even a Baron. He is (certainly) not a font of great wisdom - he is no guru or mystic with special insight. He isn't even a particularly inspiring individual - he didn't serve; he never struggled; he's not in any way oppressed (he glided through high school as a star athlete, then went to Stanford. What an arduous tale of perseverance). But even if he were all of the above, nothing - at least in America - would entitle him to make up an (exceedingly ambiguous - seriously, go read the order [and please do not attempt to justify this tyranny by saying "but it's an emergency!" Who defines when the emergency ends? Who? Inslee? Do you not see the problem with this?]) law and then begin arresting people over it.

I'm not taking to the streets.

I'm not looking to organize.

I'm not going to go walk up to some poor police officer and act like it's his fault, or challenge him to arrest me.

But I will not wear a mask.

What gives him the right to shutter commerce - destroy the lives folks have labored for since they were teenagers - over a virus that has only infected a few thousand people statewide?

I personally agree with the edict, and if one studies the power a governor has in an emergency you would understand this is completely lawful. However even Inslee admits it is not enforceable. Imo those who object don’t really care about their fellow citizens.
