A lawsuit seeking to overturn the proof of vaccine mandate for patrons of restaurants and bars in Clallam County has been delayed once again.  The suit filed by six restaurant owners had been set to be heard in Kitsap County Superior Court today.  But word came late yesterday it has been delayed until next month. It’s now tentatively set for Friday, January 7th at 3:30 pm. 

The case was moved to Kitsap County after Clallam County’s three superior court judges recused themselves, saying it would be difficult to be impartial.  Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Michelle Adams will be hearing the case instead. 

The suit filed by the owners of the Oasis Bar and Grill, Blondie’s Plate and Jose’s Famous Salsa House restaurant in Sequim, Kokopelli Grill and Coyote Barbeque Pub in Port Angeles and the Blackberry Café in Joyce is alleging that the vaccine mandate unconstitutionally targets a single industry, and harms their freedom of commerce.
