Bag Searches are Mandatory at Large Public Events

Pack your patience as you enter the fairgrounds. Recently, at the Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo, while security was going through my fanny-pack, I was reminded of security at larger arenas. In some, such as Climate Pledge, and Lumen Field, clear bag policies are in place. Small clutches, purses, or wallets not to exceed a certain size are allowed.

Always check with the venue before you attend. I once had to throw away a brand new fanny pack because it was too large. Clear bag policies are in place for increased security and faster entry.

While I agree with the clear bag policy at concerts, I'm really glad it isn't in place for fairs, yet. The Washington State Fair is committed to ensuring the safety of the community.
