As Arlington gym closes, a Snohomish barber continues to cut

OLYMPIA — Two Snohomish County businesses that defied the governor’s stay-home order are now facing legal battles with the state Attorney General’s Office.

An Arlington gym that reopened earlier this month closed Tuesday night after Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit in Snohomish Superior Court, one of the business’ co-owners said.

And now Snohomish barber Bob Martin, who’s been illegally cutting hair all month, could face a similar fate. Ferguson’s office sent him a letter saying he has 48 hours to close up shop or he’ll face legal action.

“I am not going to close,” Martin told The Daily Herald on Tuesday. “I don’t think they’d dare try that, but they can if they want to.”

The barber is at the vulnerable age where he'd be more affected by the virus.
