WhatcomTalk The 2021 Northwest Washington Fair Is a Go! “The Northwest Washington Fair is on,” says CEO Chris Pickering. Monday’s announcement follows an April 16 guidance update from Governor Inslee’s office that allows up to 9,000 guests at events around the state. “We’ve been planning for almost two years to make this the best Fair yet,” Pickering says. New health and safety measures include the Fair’s pursuit of GBAC STAR accreditation for facility cleanliness, along with plans to move all food and beverage purchases cashless. “The health and safety of our guests is top priority. We’re doing everything possible to deliver safe, clean fun.”
