  • A family restaurant is at odds with the City of Snohomish over its COVID-era outdoor seating area, which the city says requires a permit.
    After several notices, the city has given the business a deadline of July 5 to comply with regulations before the structure must be removed.
    "All we want is the city to come and inspect the tent," said Bronn Journey, co-owner of Andy's Fish House.
    Journey acknowledges the lack of permit but argues the tent does meet international building code.
    "It was structurally engineered and stamped by an engineer," Journey said.
    Heather Thomas, the city administrator for Snohomish, told KING 5 by phone that without a permit, the restaurant is not in compliance with city requirements and international building code.

    Why didn’t the city say anything during Covid?

      That was the only way places could stay open during covid! Then they kept it and city complaining. Make up my mind! 😂

    Clearly states he'd like someone to inspect it. How about getting off your seat in your office and go inspect it. Provide a solution should there be an issue so that it cam be resolved, provided there are issue(s).

    I absolutely understand that all properties need to acquire permits before building or adding to their structure.
    HOWEVER, the pandemic changed many ways that we socially distanced.
    The structure is there, simply work with the owners! It looks like a lovely place to go in Snohomish and maybe someday I will have a chance to visit.
    _Meanwhile, it’s stupid to be arguing about this tent when there are unauthorized tents all over Washington state!_

      I get that there are tents all over, but only a few inspectors. People would be up in arms if one caught on fire and trapped everyone inside. I personally like the tents especially in less thean ideal outdoor weather and hope they can work out accommodations.

      @@hottractor2456 I understand your point, but it sounds like inspectors have already been to the establishment and had they taken a little bit more time they probably could’ve checked off on that inspection! Red tape asking for this tent to be removed only to be possibly be built back seems silly in my opinion.

    They didn't allow anyone to eat indoors and strong armed businesses to build things like outdoor seating. Now they want permits so they can TAKE. We need to minimize government reach everywhere because this is what they occupy themselves with instead of balancing budgets and actually improving a town, city or state.

      Put it up at the beginning of Covid when they were asked to provide options for diners to help with the economy.
      Most of my patients (cancer) can't go into restaurants unless they have an outdoor area to dine.
      Also, Covid is not benign. With each infection it can cause Long Covid, vascular issues, and even IQ loss with mild infections, as well.
      (I'm in the research sciences.)
      Good for folks to have options with better ventilation.
      The next 10 years will start to show this more readily.. 😢
