As we proceed through the pandemic, local infection rates, vaccination rates, and the latest science will continue to dictate the most prudent approach to safety. We will continue to adapt our policies as Seattle Parks and Recreation guidelines allow so we can get back to normal as soon as possible.
Hopefully the following information will help you understand more about our COVID guidelines.
As always, please feel free to reach out to us at mount.baker@seattle.gov if you have any questions or concerns.
