Washington State Fair to require masks in all indoor and outdoor settings
The Washington State Fair is requiring all attendees ages 5 and up to wear a mask both indoors and outdoors, according to a notice the fair issued Tuesday.
“We realize that some of our guests might not agree with this mandate, but it is crucial we adhere to this, for us to open our gates – and remain open,” officials wrote in the notice. “So please, bring your mask and wear it during your visit. Have a great time at the biggest party in the state. We understand if you need to skip our party this year, but we look forward to seeing you again soon.”
The fair said it will enforce this order but will follow guidance from the state Department of Health and honor medical exemptions for mask wearing. Attendees without an exemption will be granted a mask upon entry if they forget to bring one, the notice said.
Officials said they will not be refunding tickets unless the fair is canceled. Tickets to individual concerts will also not be refunded unless that concert is canceled.
