Alcohol to-go

Mar 4, 2024 | , , ,

Extending alcohol-to-go options was one of the association’s top priorities during the 2023 legislative session, and we achieved that win with the passage of SSB 5448. Gov. Jay Inslee signed SSB 5448 on May 4, extending this critical revenue stream for hospitality businesses as we continue to recover.
