COVID-19 Update
Due to recent updates from the Governor’s office and recommendations from the CDC, the PAEC is now open for events at 30% capacity or 200 people, whichever is less, as long as six feet of physical distance can be maintained by all attendees. The PAEC adheres to applicable COVID-19 guidelines and requirements as determined by King County, Washington State, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We will remain flexible to adjust standards and protocols as new information becomes available. Updates will be provided as they become available.
Ticketing Info
New dates in 2021 have been announced for most of our 2020 events. Prior ticket purchases will be honored at the new dates and no further action is required. While the PAEC box office is currently closed for walk-up purchases to limit physical interactions, you may purchase tickets online 24/7 at www.fwpaec.org or call Monday – Friday, 10AM – 5PM at (253) 835-7010. During this time, your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. We will email patrons directly regarding the status of each performance as details are confirmed, and the most up-to-date status for each event will be available on our website. If you have any additional questions, please email us at info@fwpaec.org.
Frequent cleaning/disinfecting routines are followed during event hours, and deep cleaning/disinfecting will take place between event days and events, with a focus on restrooms and high-touch areas.
