BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A local Bellingham restaurant will be opening for dine in service next week under new regulations.

The Black Cat announced that they are set up to comply with new “open air” guidelines that requires eateries to arrange seating to occur in unobstructed outdoor air in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

The restaurant has all of their tables against their large windows to encourage air flow.

The old windows on the historic Fairhaven building open from the bottom and top and the ceiling height allows for good circulation.

The Black Cat will open for dine in and take out on Friday, January 29th.
