The Tacoma Rainiers will be the first to take up Gov. Jay Inslee’s new guidance suggesting teams begin providing special seating sections for vaccinated fans.

The Rainiers have their first home game Thursday, and . Fans in that section won’t be required to distance, but they will still have to wear a mask. Fans must show proof of vaccination.

Sounders to begin handing out COVID vaccines to fans at home matches

鈥淲e are thrilled by this announcement which allows us to provide a Cheney Stadium experience closer to what our fans have known for over 60 years,鈥 Tacoma Rainiers President Aaron Artman said in a written release. 鈥淭his guidance gives vaccinated fans the chance to safely gather for Rainiers baseball, without distancing, and feel a sense of normalcy that we鈥檝e deeply missed for too long.鈥

Under Inslee’s guidance issued on Monday, spectator events and religious and faith-based organizations can have increased capacity by adding sections for vaccinated attendees.

Officials also told 成人X站 Radio that enforcement of any rules regarding vaccinations will be on the individual organizations or businesses. The option to allow unvaccinated people will remain, but venues that require vaccination would be able to have additional capacity and fewer spacing limitations.
