Arborea Falls COVID 19 policy

Most of our events events occur on our open field of approximately 19K sf with limited access to the private residence.

​

Arborea Falls protocols

• We will take all recommended precautions to ensure the environment conforms to CDC guidelines including CDC-approved disinfectants, latex gloves, etc. based on the current risk level. As an example:

  • Where feasible, as a best practice, we ask event organizers to provide marked spaces with 30’ distance between play spaces/scenes.

  • We will provide touchless hand sanitizers, disinfectants, trash bags, and other appropriate cleaning supplies near the bathroom facilities and around the event area.

  • We will provide access to an outdoor, incinerating toilet and sink with running water as well as cleaning and disinfectant materials.

​

Guest expectations

We believe that our guests are capable of assessing and understanding their own tolerance for risk and can make their own decisions regarding attendance and participation. We encourage people to review these FAQs from the CDC when evaluating your choice to attend. You can review Washington State guidelines here.

​

We ask that you engage in events with care and respect with our community. Consider the vulnerable population, those with less access to resources, and our obligation to protect each other from harm and to support each other. Regardless of whether or not it may be COVID, do not attend if you are experiencing signs of illness. Consider leaving an event if you begin to experience symptoms.

​

Event coordinators

Any event coordinator (EC) hosting their own (non-Arborea Falls sponsored) event is expected to clearly articulate their own policies in addition to those expected by Arborea Falls. For example, event coordinators can choose to require proof of vaccination. ECs are responsible for their own event and can choose to request a guest to leave their event.

​

Before the event

• Tickets must be pre-paid and waivers signed before arriving. 

​

At arrival

• We ask that all event coordinators try to provide a touchless check-in. We can facilitate this if needed.

• Upon arrival, every attendee (guest, staff, volunteer) are expected to verify they do not currently exhibit any symptoms and, to their knowledge, have not recently been exposed to COVID-19. We may also check temperatures with a touchless thermometer.

• When exposure levels rise, we may recommend the use of colored bracelets to indicate your level of comfort with contact:

  • Green - I'm comfortable with reasonable contact​

  • Yellow - Maintain safe distance OR approach only with mask 

  • Red - Please maintain safe distance AND a mask - do not approach. Not fully vaccinated.

​

During the event

• IMPORTANT: We expect our guests to follow state recommendations regarding COVID safety procedures. These recommendations change rapidly so please be flexible. Failure to do so is cause to be asked to leave. 

• We expect guests to take responsibility for disinfecting the surfaces with which they come in contact – this includes bathroom facilities, play equipment, etc.

• We expect guests to bring what they need and remove their debris when they depart.

• We expect attendees to respect bracelet colors when in use.
