CHELAN Four years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the popular Chelan waterpark Slidewaters has agreed to pay a reduced fine for refusing to close its doors during the opening months of the public health emergency.
Washingtons Department of Labor and Industries fined the park more than $9,600 in July 2020 for reopening despite the governors order to close gathering places throughout the state.
The conservative nonprift Freedom Foundation stepped up to provide legal representation to the waterpar, which went on tofight the COVID rules in federal courtand lose in every venue as courts upheld Gov. Jay Inslee's emergency powers as constitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the park's final appeal.
But the administrative fine remained unpaid, and was under appeal in Chelan County Superior Court until this week. Slidewaters and L&I agreed to a reduced penalty of just over $7,200, and asked the judge to dismiss the case.
Slidewaters must pay its fine in scheduled installments by July 2025.
