If we don’t ensure staff and customers are vaccinated and masking, people will get sick and we are likely to see all of our options for dining out eliminated. We’ve seen how important Public Health’s inspections are as some businesses tried to gain competitive edges by not having masks or having far more people cram in than should occur. They have to observe the violations or documentation themselves, they don’t enforce based on just a rumor. Thanks and stay healthy, Gerry Representative Gerry Pollet 46th District (Northeast and North Seattle, Lake Forest Park and Kenmore) Chair: Local Government and Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committees Member: Appropriations, College and Workforce Development Committees Please email me if you’d like to join one of my Saturday morning drop-in discussions “Traveling Town Halls” which are posted on my website and FB page.

I recently had lunch at Chinook’s Restaurant in Seattle and one of the wait staff thereshared with me that there is a person on staff who is not vaccinated. IF I FOUND A RESPECTED, REPUTABLE, WELL ESTABLISHED RESTAURANTWITH AN UNVACCINATED EMPLOYEE, HOW MANY MORE COULD THERE BE? Those most vulnerable to hospitalization or death from covid are senior citizens over 60,or those with a pre-existing health condition. Have you witnessed the unethical behavior of elected officials from City Council to the President? The establishment and the state want to know that I’m vaccinated so I’m not spreading thevirus but they are unwilling to prove to me that I am safe when I’m the one at Greater risk? I’m a retired police officer, detective and fraud investigator for LNI. We didn’t makearrests or decisions based on someone’s word, we were required To have corroborating evidence. How would you feel if you were arrested based on the statement from a witness without corroborating evidence?That’s what establishments are asking from their patrons. Mayor Durkin of Seattle, Councilwoman Sawant and President Trump have participated in covering up their behavior and the choices they made. Why should I assume, localbusiness owners wouldn’t do the same? Read “ Talking with Strangers” by Malcolm Gladwell. IF WE ARE TO ERADICATE THIS VIRUS AND MAKE IT SAFE FOR EVERYONE,WE NEED TO STANDARDIZE THE RULES STATEWIDE INCLUDING RESTAURANTS, BARS, MOVIE THEATERS, ETC. The manager of the Rose Theater suggested I could just stay home. I’m a retiredwidower. Do you have any idea how it impacts mental health to stay isolated for nearly two years?I suggest the isolation is a cause of more suicides, homicides, domestic violence and drug abuse. Please make me feel safe by mandating that all establishments show evidence that their staff is vaccinated. THE MANAGER TELLING ME THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE VACCINATED IS NOT SUFFICIENT PROOF!!! WE NEED CONSISTENCY STATE AND COUNTRY WIDE!!!DOES IT REALLY HAVE TO BE THIS HARD??? AND WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW THAT WE ARE SAFE, NOT JUST THE ESTABLISHMENTS!!!HOW CAN WE TRUST THE WORD OF ESTABLISHMENTS WHEN WE CAN’T TRUST OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES?
