at 5:23 pm Set your watches. At 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, June 30, Washington state will officially reopen. So what does that mean? For many, itâs a major mental milestone after such a long period of restrictions, lockdowns, sacrifice, and loss during the pandemic. But it also means that people who are fully vaccinated can largely return to pre-pandemic life⦠with some caveats. Perhaps the biggest change is that bars, restaurants and other businesses will be allowed to open at full-capacity. Large indoor events with more than 10,000 people will still be capped at 75 percent capacity, unless vaccination is required for entry and vaccination verification is occurring.
