OLYMPIA, Wash. As executive director of the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, Jill Barnes cannot wait to get a full house for a live performance again.
But don’t expect any capacity crowds in the days following the state’s June 30 reopening.

“It’s been absolutely devastating,” said Barnes.
