The Legislative Building is shown partially shrouded in fog at the Capitol in Olympia on Jan. 7, 2021.

The state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate deadline has passed, and the fallout has begun. Olympia correspondent Austin Jenkins joined Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick to explain what's happening.
