"Before the coronavirus epidemic, this neighborhood cafe used to be open for meals, with two outside picnic tables and some chairs. It switched to take-out food early on after inside dining was prohibited, and then closed all together. It is now open essentially as a store, selling mainly drinks, including coffee, bottles of wine and beer, and some baked goods. The outside tables and chairs are occupied with groups of people on the sidewalk in a residential area socializing together without masks. Today I passed groups of people drinking bottles of wine on the picnic table at 1:00 pm. I doubt seriously that everyone in the group lived in the same household: it looked like friends were getting together to socialize and drink. Is it legal for a small cafe to essentially have an outside bar on a neighborhood sidewalk?" - a concerned neighbor in Capitol Hill, Seattle
