OLYMPIA, Wash. — Two days after the state sued gym owner Mike Jellison for violating the stay-at-home order, Jellison filed a lawsuit against the state.
“If you poke the bear, sooner or later you’re going to get bit,” Jellison told a crowd of about 100 people during a rally at the steps of the Washington State Supreme Court.
Jellison owns P.A. Fitness in Arlington. He closed the gym doors in March when Gov. Jay Inslee enacted his “Stay Home, Stay Healthy Order,” in an attempt to curb the outbreak of coronavirus.
