Backlash against restrictions on restaurants continues in Washington, Oregon

WOODLAND, Cowlitz County, Wash. (Tribune News Service) — Outside the door to Brock's Bar and Grill, people stood on the sidewalk with U.S. and Trump 2020 flags. Inside, the place was packed with people enjoying Sunday afternoon drinks in what was billed as a "Day of Defiance" to the COVID-19 restrictions that have banned such service in the state of Washington.

Owner Polly Merwin says she worked 32 years tending bar to make the money to buy the business, which she fears is now at risk.

"We the people have to take a stand. Small business can't survive," Merwin declared.
