As COVID-19 cases climb again, more Seattle bars, restaurants are requiring proof of vaccination
Seattle bars and restaurants and taking this resurgence of COVID-19 cases and the more-contagious Delta variant seriously, with a growing amount now requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for indoor dining.
Popular nightlife spots Queer Bar, The Cuff Complex and the Woods announced Tuesday that all three venues would require proof of vaccination for entry starting on July 30.
"We understand that the only way nightlife can return to normal is through higher rates of vaccinations among our residents, not just in Seattle, but across the country. 1,969,300 people 21 years of age and older have been vaccinated to date in King County — we are doing the work well Seattle — let’s cross the finish line," wrote the owners in an Instagram post.
The Doctor's Office, a cocktail bar that opened in 2020 just before the statewide shutdown, also announced this week that it will require proof of vaccination or proof of a negative test within 48 hours for indoor service starting Aug. 1. In an Instagram post, the owner said that anyone giving staff a hard time about this new policy will be barred for life.
