Lake Washington School District to host graduations at T-Mobile Park

SEATTLE — Lake Washington School District Superintendent Jon Holmen has announced plans to hold high school graduation ceremonies at T-Mobile Park for the class of 2021.

Classes scheduled to participate include Eastlake, Juanita, Lake Washington, Redmond, International Community School, and Tesla STEM High Schools.

Due to Phase 3 eligibility, T-Mobile Park has received approval from King County to hold events of up to 9,000 people. Social distancing and other safety requirements will still be required.

If you or your family are still hesitant about this type of event, the School District is working with T-Mobile to live stream graduations.

Smaller choice schools are still planning on-campus graduations, and families will receive updates from their principals.

However, there is some bad news, as due to current physical distancing requirements, and proms have been canceled.
