Well, the people being threatened can use the same statute that was used against them to try to pinpoint the identity of the people threatening them, RCW 42.56 The Public Records Act. I hope they're recording the threats:

Dozens receiving threats after reporting violators of the governor's stay-at-home order

WASHINGTON — The website that Governor Inslee encouraged people to file specific complaints about businesses violating the state’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” directive clearly said on the top, “All the information collected at this site is considered public.”

But some people who are receiving death threats tell KIRO-7 they never saw that disclaimer, so they felt secure leaving their names and contact information.

Now the victims of email and phone harassment told KIRO-7 the FBI is investigating death threats made against them.

A King County woman who reported the threats to police told KIRO-7 she was unaware her personal contact information would become public -- that is, until someone sent her a threatening email, which was also sent to hundreds of others who used the website file complaints.

"Wednesday night, I got an email addressed to me and 450 other people that said “Your information has been leaked,”' she said.

That email called people who made reports, “Lowlife scumbag whistleblower snitches.”

“Fifteen minutes later I got a voicemail saying they wanted to kill me, hope I die, hope I choke on the virus, with really graphic language,” she said.

“So glad it’s public disclosure! Have a nice night!” the voicemail said.

“I’m just getting horrible things telling me that I need to get out of the state in the next two days or they will come and kill me and my entire family,” the woman added.

The woman sent the voicemails to KIRO-7. Another was the sound of a man’s angry voice: “Let me tell you I don’t take that expletive lightly. So you got 48 hours to get the expletive out of Washington, or I’m coming for you!”

Earlier versions of the state’s website show that the disclaimer explaining the public nature of their information was not visible on the top of the page.

I am definitely upset with the state, and I don’t think they protected me at all," said the woman, who said she filed a tip regarding a business that was marketing “coronavirus cures.”

She said she believed many people who filed complaints were also being targeted with the same campaign of threats and fear. She has a return message for the people making the threats. “You know I’m a daughter and a wife and a future mother and I don’t think I deserve these death threats.”

I have very little faith in the FBI to do anything right anymore...

Cowards. Never understood the mentality behind death threats.
 
Why the hell is the FBI involved in investigating death threats against people who violate the governor's stay at home order? Aren't there enough bank robberies going on? The freaking world is upside down.
They might classify this as terrorist threats.
 
It's stunning to find so many people who just dismiss death threats instead of insisting that the perps be caught, including folks on USMB. This is the downside of having the internet. The perps circulate in society along with the rest of us, which is a chilling thought for everyone. They could be hiding in your neighborhood or mine, and living under the guise of being a "nice" person.

And what is your definition of a nice person?

Snitches get stitches!
Freaking snitching to the Gestapo, that's what those snitches were doing.
I never understood the Snitch mentality.
