While Governor Kim Reynolds signed a new proclamation lifting spectator restrictions at sporting events Thursday, the Washington School District still has measures in place to promote social distancing at events.

Governor Reynolds’ proclamation continues that face masks be required when people are in an indoor public space and are unable to social distance for 15 minutes or longer. Washington Activities Director Brent Van Weelden affirms that face masks are still required for spectators, and until further notice each game or event participant will still be given two tickets. Van Weelden says those two tickets will allow an entire household of those who live with the participant into the event, “That could go a variety of ways, you might have grandpa and grandma living with you, you might have an aunt and uncle living with you, if they’re living in your household they get in on those two tickets.”

Van Weelden mentions that if a household has more than one participant in an event, each additional participant will also receive two tickets. If a participant has a “split family”, the participant should go to the activity office to receive additional tickets. If a spectator arrives at an event with one ticket, the ticket will only admit the individual with the ticket.
