Since July 14, DOH has not produced an updated report showing the death count by category. Further, the official DOH dashboard continues to present only a single number for deaths. DOH confirmed (pdf document) to the Freedom Foundation that the only deaths no longer included in its dashboard number are the handful that definitely died from causes unrelated to COVID-19. The dashboard continues to include “suspect” and “pending” deaths that may or may not have involved the virus.

On May 18, the Freedom Foundation released a groundbreaking report,
based on information obtained directly from the Washington State
Department of Health (DOH), showing that the state’s official count of
COVID-19 deaths was overstated by as much as 13 percent due to the
state’s practice of counting every person who died sometime after
testing positive for the virus, even if the death was caused by
something else.
