Local businesses offer free drinks with proof of vaccination

You can now get a round on the house for getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board is giving businesses with with liquor licenses the option to offer one free drink to customers with proof of vaccination for COVID-19. The optional promotion is available through June 30.

Note: State liquor laws technically don’t allow businesses to offer free drinks. The board, therefore, clarifies that the businesses can neither call the drink “free” nor “complimentary” when promoting the offer — but instead that the drink will be “purchased for the customer.”
