Washington State Fair to return in-person in September

PUYALLUP, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Fair is returning to Puyallup in September after it was canceled last year amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Seattle Times reports organizers posted on Twitter Thursday that the Washington State Fair is back. Organizers say the decision to hold the fair in-person follows Gov. Jay Inslee’s announcement that the state will fully reopen on June 30. The fair closure in 2020 was the first cancelation in nearly 80 years. The event will take place Sept. 3-26, but will be closed on Tuesdays and on Sept. 8.
