As Mariners fans geared up to see a baseball game in-person again, Seattle businesses excitedly prepared to see customers again.
Erin Nestor, owner of 2 Doors Down, said the road to Opening Day hasn t been smooth. Nestor originally planned on debuting her restaurant last April, but then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, putting her well-laid plans on hold.
“We waited until August. We couldn’t wait any longer, and for quite some time, we were primarily a to-go business,” Nestor recalled.
