BELFAIR, Wash. (AP) - Mason County officials have decided the scantily clad baristas at a Belfair espresso stand are erotic entertainers.

Officials say the women will have to cover up or Espresso Gone Wild will have to go.

The stand opened last month and drew complaints at the July 30 meeting of the Mason County Board of Commissioners.

Commissioners sent the owners a letter saying the coffee stand is not zoned for erotic entertainment. The owners said they didn't expect the backlash and will comply with regulations.
