Buffets and salad bars back on the menu in Snohomish County

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 state’s four-stage reopening scheme. Those dining options had previously been barred until Phase 3.

Seventeen of the state’s 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.

2. That's a bridge too far for me...

have been to a sit down restaurant the last couple of weeks, but not going for the 'communal' crap yet.

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

3. Yeah,

Give it a year or two, maybe more. Then you should be good to go if there is anything to go to anymore.

6. I'd be amazed any restaurant would try to operate a self-serve buffet/bar right now.

I wouldn’t go anywhere near it.
