OLYMPIA Buffets and salad bars are back on the menu for restaurants and bars in Snohomish County.
But it could be a while before any bands perform live in those establishments.
On Monday, Gov. Jay Inslee quietly issued new guidance allowing the resumption of self-service buffets, salad bars, salsa bars, drink stations and other types of communal food sources in Phase 2 of the states four-stage reopening scheme. Those dining options had previously been barred until Phase 3.
Seventeen of the states 39 counties, including Snohomish, are in Phase 2 and have been for weeks. Another 17 are in Phase 3. Five counties are still in Phase 1.

I think I'll wait a while before I go out to eat. Probably wait longer for buffets or salad bars.

All those strangers handling the utensils and breathing on the food? Ain't happening.
