(Shutterstock/Dawn Umstot) PUYALLUP, WA — September may seem forever away, and the Washington State Fair is counting on it, because they're hoping that by the time it rolls around they'll be able to bring back fairgoers in droves for the 2021 state fair. In a short post on the Washington State Fair's event page, organizers confirm that they are staying optimistic, and planning to re-open the fair this year. Their tentative plans show the fair running from Friday, September 3rd through Sunday, September 26th. A lot could happen in the months leading up to September, but organizers say they're staying flexible and will closely monitor the state's evolving COVID-19 guidelines to make sure the event is safe and above-board.
