I want to inform the owners and staff of our local restaurants and bars that I and my husband are so happy to know that we can once again enjoy coming inside your establishments, thanks to the new requirement that indoor patrons be vaccinated against COVID-19.
You will have our business, and our thanks.
It was hard for us not to be able to enjoy going to our favorite restaurants or go out to enjoy a night of music and/or dancing or go watch the Seahawks with fellow fans.
I felt bad for the workers who had to risk exposure all this time and for the impact on business.
I am glad to know that your staff and our community will now have some added measure of safety thanks to this requirement, and since the majority of our citizens are vaccinated, I am certain that you will see an increase in business.
I urge everyone to support our local restaurants and bars.
If you are unvaccinated, please continue to patronize those places with outdoor seating while we still have beautiful weather or order takeout to enjoy at home or for a lovely picnic.
