Gov. Inslee tightens restrictions for weddings, funerals, restaurants, bars, gyms
Gov. Inslee on Thursday announced he will tighten restrictions for weddings, funeral, restaurants, bars, and gyms, among other recreational activities.
The changes to Inslee’s Safe Start plan for reopening Washington state also affect family entertainment centers, movie theaters, and card rooms. Additionally, the state also announced an expansion to the mask mandate, asking residents to wear a face covering in all common areas. Inslee also extended the Eviction Moratorium Extension to Oct. 15.
“We do not take these steps lightly. We know every prohibition is a challenge for individuals and business owners,” Inslee said. “But we know that if we fail to act, we expose people and businesses to even greater risk down the line.”
The new guidelines for businesses will take effect on July 30. Changes to guidelines for weddings and funerals take effect on Aug. 6.
