The Seattle Times reports the Unicorn on Capitol Hill and Jupiter bar in Belltown each had two vaccinated workers who tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend, and bar management said they immediately closed. Owners at both bars say they plan to reopen Friday since test results for the rest of their staff were negative.
