A number of businesses in the state stayed open in defiance of the governor’s emergency orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, including many restaurants that chose to remain open for indoor dining.

In Port Orchard, a diner called That One Place is one such business that decided to stay open.

The Legislature’s $6.3 billion capital budget passed last month includes funding for dozens of Kitsap County projects including school modernization, affordable housing, a community center and money to purchase and preserve land in North Kitsap.
The 2021-2023 capital budget, which funds new and ongoing construction projects across the state, includes $1.8 billion in new appropriations.
The entire property has been valued at about $6.6 million, according to Kitsap County Commissioner Rob Gelder. Capital budget funds will help to purchase the property, which will be split between residential development, affordable housing, public services and open space, Gelder said.

But it’s not that simple, say the people on the list.
Deepening the divide
It all started in May of 2020 when That One Place opened for indoor dining in protest of Washington’s Covid-19 restrictions.
Sean Watkins, an army veteran, lives in Port Orchard and works as the director of a social services organization in Seattle. He filed one of the 260 complaints against the restaurant.
