EVERETT, Wash. -- The Everett City Council voted Wednesday night to make bikini baristas cover up while they're working.



The city is home to a few of the coffee stands.



The new ordinance would impose a dress code on the scantily dressed coffee servers. For example, servers would have to make sure their pants go at least 3 inches below the buttocks.









Everett Police said they've had problems at the stands and that they're a drain on resources.



But bikini baristas told Q13 News that the new law would take a toll on their tips and could force them to find work outside the city.



Violating the law would be a gross misdemeanor and could be punishable by up to a year in jail or a $5,000 fine.
