Operative words
"Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) meets new COVID-19 health measures outlined in guidance from Washington state Governor Jay Inslee for a four-week statewide set of restrictions in response to the recent rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus in the state and across the country." Airport "retail tenants adjust physical distancing to reduce occupancy from 30 percent to 25 percent"; the loss of "indoor dining could lead to additional layoffs and furloughs for airport dining and retail tenants" and affects "restaurants that cannot easily transition to a carry out-only experience."
Enforcement
Governor's proclamation (RCW 43.06.220; gross misdemeanor) as applied on Port property; Port tenant rules
Notes
Shows how the State's winter 2020-21 re-tightening reached the airport's concession economy.
