Washington drive-in movie theaters petition for reopening in fear of permanent closure

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Bratt family lives on the property, and Darrell's children have grown up under the light glow of a large screen casting films across a large parking space for onlooking visitors.

Of course, in wake of the novel coronavirus, all drive-in theaters across Washington were ordered to close months ago.

Though drive-in church services were recently permitted, and food-to-go is entirely legal, Bratt was caught by surprise when he realized drive-in theaters remained in the realm of indoor theaters when it came to reopening permissions.

Indoor movie theaters aren't permitted to open until Phase 3 of governor Inslee's 4-phase plan, which makes the potential for any theater to reopen around a month away, at best.

1. Maybe OK with social distancing? They ARE drive-ins after all

perhaps allow every-other parking space?

2. I think the public bathroom issue has not been solved for drive-ins. N/T

4. You'd think that was the 1 thing that could remain open!

People stay in their cars except for bathroom breaks, and golf carts can bring the snacks around.
