OLYMPIA, Wash. — Gov. Inslee announced Monday that venues in Washington state are now allowed to have vaccinated sections to increase capacity.
The new rules, outlined in a release from the governor’s office says that vaccinated sections can increase the allowed total capacity to 50% or 22,000 people, whichever is smaller.
Outdoor unvaccinated spaces are still limited to 9,000 people, with groups still maintaining 6-feet distance from each other.
For indoor facilities, vaccinated sections can be added too, increasing the total capacity to 50% or 2,000 people, whichever is smaller.
Suites can be filled to 100% if every guest shows proof of vaccination. Suite totals do not get added to the venue total.
Similar to outdoor spaces, indoor groups must maintain the 6-foot distance.
Vaccinated sections in indoor spaces may be seated at full capacity, as long as all guests provide proof of vaccination
