Auburn gym owner supports proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirement despite push back from patrons
A new King County health order will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test for most indoor spaces, including gyms and performance venues. The order will have some of its biggest impacts in the Kent-Auburn area, where the vaccination rate is 68.6%, the lowest in King County.
"I think it's a good step forward. It's going to give people a bit more safety. They're going to feel a bit more comfortable walking into places," said David Anderson, owner of Sumner Ninja in Auburn.
Anderson opened the gym at the beginning of the pandemic and has been navigating changes from health officials. Many classes at Sumner Ninja are for kids who are too young to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. However, the gym has room for parents to watch.
Under King County's new health order, those parents will need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test in order to watch their children participate in class.
