I was in the mountains over the weekend. One town in particular, not one mask on the streets, in the restaurants or grocery store. a few on trails, not many.
Two of the dudes working the store were strapped. Weren’t wearing masks and were quite vocal about it. (no name. I’m not letting @HHusky rat them out to L&I)
The only mask issue was in the parking lot when I helped a lady (35? with a young kid) with her cooling problem. >>> Can I give you a hand?
Stuck and visibly frustrated she responded, Oh yes! Thank you!! just as I’m sticking my head under the hood...>> Are you gonna wear a mask?
>>>NO!
silence.
Cut the hose end off, retightened the clamp, poured in the antifreeze. Done.
Much of Washington's agritourism industry will be sidelined this year under COVID-19 rules released Thursday by Gov. Jay Inslee.
Customers can't pet or view animals. And hay rides are out, as are games and touching farm equipment.
Farmer Hilary Huffman called the rules a "gut punch." They'll nix most activities at her agritourist farm, The Patch in Ellensburg, Wash.
"We can sell pumpkins. You know who else can sell pumpkins? Safeway," she said.
The agritourism rules went into effect immediately and apply in the 34 counties that have progressed past Phase 1 in Inslee's four-phase plan to reopen Washington businesses. Any farm that breaks a rule can be fined $10,000.
Agritourism customers must wear face coverings and keep at least 6 feet apart. The rules ban activities such as wagon rides, haunted houses, playgrounds, farm equipment "exploration," animal viewing, petting areas, paintball and campfires.
A governor's spokesman said the Health Department gave strong direction to allow only primary activities such as U-pick, U-cut and pumpkin patches.
"We don't want families lingering, even in an outdoor environment," he said in an email.
In writing the rules, the governor's office said it consulted two farms, including Maris Farms in Pierce County.
Maris Farms co-owner Joanne Templeman said the farm wasn't involved in drafting the rules and had no influence on the outcome.
"We had a chance to read the draft earlier this week," she said. "The final rules do not reflect any of our comments."

Lingering to pet an animal or sit around a bon fire, BAD, $10,000 fine. Lingering outside a taxpayers home and yelling at them with a bull horn that they need to wake the fuck up and get out of the neighborhood is fine. Got it. Thanks Jay.
