UPDATED 5/13: Here are the local restaurants open and serving takeout or delivery
One lesson that has been brought home by the COVID-19 crisis is that Olympia loves its restaurants. And with the governor’s stay-at-home order taking its toll on businesses far and wide, lots of local readers want to step up and help.
And eat good food that they don’t have to cook themselves. That too.
So here is a list of the local restaurants The Olympian is aware of that are offering grab-and-go or delivery meals during this unusual time.
If you own a restaurant that is open but not on this list, or if you’ve visited a restaurant that is open but isn’t here, shoot us an email at news@theolympian.com with the important details so we can add them.
