It’s the law: No mask, no service begins today across Washington

Businesses across the state won’t be allowed to serve customers who aren’t wearing a facial covering starting Tuesday, July 7. Some say it will make it easier to enforce mask policies they already have in place.

“This is not an optional plan for businesses,” Gov. Jay Inslee said last week. “This is a legal requirement.”

For many businesses across the state it will be business as usual — with the law behind them.
