Washington business owners prepare for big changes under Phase 2
Q13 s AJ Janavel reports.
TACOMA - For some business owners, loosened restrictions under Phase 2 means they can get back to doing what they love.
On Thursday, Governor Jay Inslee announced seven counties, including King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Thurston Counties, could move into Phase 2.
Phase 2 allows businesses within these counties to operate with loosened restrictions. That was the biggest weight lifted off my shoulders in 10 months, said Adam Norwest.
Norwest is the owner of the Tacoma Comedy Club. However, for the last six months, he has operated a restaurant out of the space.
