Help The News Tribune tell your loved one’s COVID-19 story

The News Tribune is asking readers to share stories of those who have passed away from the coronavirus in Washington.

As of July 28, more than 1,500 people have died of COVID-19 in the state. The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department reports 106 deaths as of July 27 in Pierce County alone. Those people were valued members of their communities and cherished by their families and friends.

If a loved one or someone special to you has died of the coronavirus, we’d like to know more about them so we can help honor their legacy.

We created a form so you can share some details of their lives with us. We are asking for your memories and information as we publicly remember those who have passed away. We would like to know who they were and what the lasting impacts of their lives will be.

Please fill out the form below or email their story to newstips@thenewstribune.com. A News Tribune reporter may reach out to you to follow up.
