Let us know in the comments below, via Twitter, or by email if you notice any closures near you. Or, better yet, let us know of any local businesses that need help BEFORE they end up on this list.
Off the Rez Cafe is closed now because the Burke is shut down, but their truck is still doing some brewery visits! Please support them during the shutdown so they can keep their employees afloat!
Added to the list! Thank you, Maggi.
The UW Medicine note should specify that it is routine visiting *to patients* — not routine visits to doctors in the hospital clinics. Very helpful – thank you!
Hi JoAnn! We took that text directly from the UW Medicine’s website, so we’re going to leave it as is. But the source and details link is right there if people want to dig further into what it means. -RN
I was at JuneBaby last night and the bartender told us they’ll be closed next week (previously scheduled) for their annual week off.
Thank you. Edouardo is THE MAN when it comes to timing, huh? We’ll add this to the list this weekend, thank you.
I was just at the ravenna eckstein community center. They are open tomorrow until 6pm, but then will be closed for 2 weeks. I believe this is most community centers. Running out of places to entertain the kids! Libraries and community centers closed
Added now. Thank you, Ivie!
