A group of 70 organizations sent a letter to Gov. Inslee to pause any plans to roll back counties to Phase 2 for an additional 3 weeks.
SEATTLE - Nearly 70 state business organizations are urging Gov. Jay Inslee to delay for three weeks any decision to return some counties to more restrictive coronavirus standards, which would hurt businesses.
Inslee has said he will announce Monday if any counties have to move backward because of rising COVID-19 cases. Currently, all counties in the state are in Phase 3.

Restaurants push to keep to-go cocktails and street dining Graham Johnson
Cocktails to go have only been allowed in Washington since last May, but they’re a big hit with struggling restaurants.
The state’s Liquor and Cannabis Board asked the Legislature to keep them legal through at least June 2023.
This week, the Legislature agreed, passing a bill that requires a study of how it’s working.
“We really took a big step on this stuff because it was important and the industry was hit so hard,” said Brian Smith of the liquor board.
“We can prove ourselves to do this safely,” said Anthony Anton of the Washington Hospitality Association.
