Is the Tacoma Health Department putting the kibosh on Art Walk/Night on the Town fun?

Possibly, though the Weekly Volcano has not yet heard from representatives of the health department, our friend Julia Russell from Metropolitan Vet brought this:

“Some recent not-so-good news for the Art Walk/Night on the Town venues: the Health
Dept (and state liquor control board) have issued us big no-no's for serving (non-compliant) chow and (non-licensed) hooch at our events. If we want to keep in compliance, it's juice boxes and packages of pretzels from here on out. I'm fearful that the 100th Monkey venue may be their next target!

I think it's a real blow to the arts community, as well as to the downtown core who are trying to build up their businesses.”

All I can say in response is, Meep! â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
