King County has received complaints about 150 businesses as of last week that members of the public feel haven’t been complying with a new countywide policy requiring patrons to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test, according to the county’s public health department.

The new requirement went into effect about two weeks ago, and applies to bars and restaurants with indoor dining, gyms, theaters and museums in King County. The rule also applies to conferences and conventions, and any large outdoor gatherings with more than 500 people — though children under age 12 are exempt.

The county has followed up with five of the 150 businesses where complaints were “particularly concerning,” Kate Cole, a spokesperson for Public Health – Seattle & King County, wrote in an email. She declined to give further information about the establishments.
