"We are a clock shop in Fife and inquired about having our business open using the same guidelines that Rich's Hot Tubs is using. We were denied. We also received this response regarding hot tubs:MIL WA Essential Business After reviewing your request, we have determined that clock and watch repair, spa's, and hot tubs do not qualify as essential at this time. Please know that we take this decision very seriously. Nonetheless, we believe that the best way to control the spread of COVID-19 is to temporarily limit interaction as much as possible. This is not an indictment on the importance of your business, nor is it permanent. We just want the rules to apply to everyone. Just because Rich's is a donor to Red Cross or a larger business should not make them exempt to the guidelines of essential business as mandated by the state. Thank you." - Tawnya Tingley
