It's my understanding that a lot of the enforcement was up to the County Sheriffs. They are elected, correct? They basically don't take orders from anyone.

That's correct, but the Dept of labor and industries and our local health districts are using their dictatorial powers to cripple businesses into complying or being shut down. A huge water park in Eastern WA was shut down by labor and industries with a 10k fine. 156 employees had to be laid off.Yeah it's about the virus...not.

No, the directors of these agency's are saying they are 'being forced to by the governors office' and 'have no choice but to comply'

I am disabled, and have trouble breathing. I have been talking to these people and their agencies, lighting a fire under their asses for putting my health in danger.

EVERYONE is blaming the governors, directly, both in washington and oregon.

Good point. I hadn't considered the fines they are levying, particularly against businesses.

Sheriffs are elected, which unfortunately makes them political animals. Several in Michigan have declined to enforce these mandates, but too many have been very quiet.

I have seen these unconstitutional mandates being enforced city and state police, whose chiefs answer to governor and mayors. Too bad the fact that the governor can't enforced his proclamations hasn't seemed to have filter down to the goons that are enforcing his proclamations. Go figure.
