Is smoking allowed at Bumbershoot?
Washington State law (RCW 70.160) prohibits smoking in all public indoor places, all workplaces, near all doorways, windows and air ventilation systems associated with any public building. This means: • Smoking is not allowed inside any of the indoor venues. • Smoking is not allowed inside the beer gardens, as they are workplaces for beer garden staff. • Smoking is not restricted at any of the outdoor areas of Bumbershoot, but we do ask that you try and be courteous of fellow Festival attendees. We also ask that you dispose of all smoking-related garbage (butts, packages, etc.) in the appropriate receptacles. Local health departments enforce compliance with this public law. For more information about RCW 70.160, and for information regarding the workplace smoking ban and smoking cessation programs, contact the King County Health Department’s Tobacco Prevention Program at (206) 296-7613 or metrokc.gov/health/tobacco.
