Show you are vaccine verified

To keep King County open for business, the county has created proof of vaccination requirements for many businesses and events.

​

Starting October 25, 2021, the county will require that customers and attendees at most indoor restaurants and bars as well as gyms, arts and entertainment venues and sporting events show proof that they are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before entering. If unvaccinated, patrons may provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test done in the last 72 hours by an FDA-approved test.

“The Seattle Metro Chamber strongly and actively supports vaccination because we know it is the path out of this pandemic and toward an equitable economic recovery” said Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce CEO and President Rachel Smith.

 

“As employers prepare to implement the new vaccine verification program over the next several weeks, the Chamber is ready to be their champion. Thanks to a tight-knit partnership with King County, we are getting information and tools ready to make compliance simple, and we have built a support network of experts to help businesses of all sizes throughout our region. Members will have a partner in this every step of the way.”
 

The current situation is rapidly changing. Thank you for your patience as we wait on details from Public Health -- Seattle & King County. The Chamber will continue to update this information to make the transition as smooth as possible.
