The federal government shut down Wednesday morning at 12:01 a.m. after Democrats and Republicans in Washington, D.C. failed to reach a funding agreement — the first shutdown since the longest in history ended in 2019.

Statewide, nearly 190,000 federal workers were expected to be furloughed, including thousands in the Bay Area, where a slew of federal office buildings are located. So would about 213,000 military personnel in the state, according a tally kept by Democratic members of Congress.

In the Bay Area, some federal parks and facilities were closed Wednesday. Muir Woods National Monument in Marin County is closed, as is Alcatraz Island. The Stinson Beach parking lot is closed as well. Fort Mason park headquarters in San Francisco was closed, but other facilities there were open.
