Public Health Seattle & King County Health Officer Dr. Jeff Duchin is issuing a local health officer order to require face masks at any large, outdoor event, regardless of vaccination status.
The updated mask order in King County takes effect Tuesday, Sept. 7.
Under the updated order, masks will be required for all vaccinated and unvaccinated people age 5 and older at any outdoor event with 500 or more people in attendance. Masks are strongly recommended under the order for everyone 5 years of age and older vaccinated and unvaccinated in any other outdoor setting where people cannot remain at least 6 feet from non-household members.
Masks are still required for everyone 5 and older in indoor public settings as well, including at grocery stores, malls, gyms, and community centers. This requirement supports the statewide indoor mask mandate.
