SULTAN, Wash Washington businesses defying statewide coronavirus restrictions face losing licenses or being hit with criminal charges or hefty fines.
Still, some establishments refuse to follow the ban on indoor dining and exercise, including Spiffy’s Restaurant in Lewis County, which faces more than $67,000 in fines, and a Pierce County gym with $77,000 in fines.
