Spaghetti Western in Hillsboro and Last Lap in Cornelius have disregarded rules prohibiting dine-in service.
A restaurant in Hillsboro and another in Cornelius have disregarded recently implemented state restrictions barring dine-in service while not enforcing mask-wearing requirements, officials say.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission and Washington County officials have both notified Alan Snyder, owner of Spaghetti Western in Hillsboro and Last Lap in Cornelius, that his businesses are operating outside of permitted service guidelines.
But while local law enforcement takes an education-based approach to the restrictions, it s unclear whether the notices alone will compel the restaurants to stop serving people inside. Indoor restaurant service is widely considered one of the easiest ways for coronavirus transmission to take place.
