SEATTLE (AP) — Public Health – Seattle & King County has suspended the license of a restaurant in Seattle after it says management defied the state’s COVID-19 guidelines. The Seattle Times reports Flowers Restaurant in the U District violated social distancing guidelines, seating restrictions and the facial coverings order. Inspection records say the restaurant’s owner said at one point that he doesn’t care about the guidelines. In a letter this week, health inspectors noted that the bar/restaurant has a history of noncompliance with COVID-19 safety concerns. Owner Fadi Hamade called the allegations “a complete fabrication,” saying he would not make such reckless decisions to jeopardize a bar restaurant he has built up for the past 30 years.
