Seattle’s Drinking Liberally will not meet this week

by — ,

DLBottle

Today is primary election day in Washington. So whatever you do, get that ballot in the mail or stuffed into a ballot box at a drop-off location. Normally, I would then suggest that you hightail it to the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for an evening of returns-watching and discussion over a drink.

This week we will not hold our weekly meeting. Washington state is still the epicenter of coronavirus in the United States, with 166 confirmed cases and 22 deaths. For times like these, it becomes prosocial to be antisocial (really, a-social).

Normally, we meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle starting around 8pm. With any luck we’ll be getting together again soon.
