Per King County Public Health’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the WAC requires all members and guests ages 12 and over to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to enter the Clubhouse. In addition, participation in Club events requires proof of vaccination. In lieu of proof of vaccination, members and guests may show proof of a negative FDA-approved COVID-19 test result from within the previous 72 hours every time they enter the Club.

To be considered fully vaccinated, you must be at least two weeks removed from receiving your second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or one dose of Johnson & Johnson.

The WAC will accept proof of COVID-19 vaccination in a variety of ways, including showing your physical vaccine card or a picture of your card at Clubhouse entry. You may also stop by the Member Services desk in the lobby or email it at any time to WAC Member Services at membership@wac.net.

Several forms of vaccination proof will be permitted under the order, including:

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 vaccination record card or photo of card.
  • Printed certificate or QR code (available soon) from MyIRMobile.com. For assistance or additional help getting your records, call the Washington state vaccine helpline at 833.VAX.HELP (833.829.4357) or email waiishelpdesk@doh.wa.gov.
  • Other official immunization record from within or outside the United States, including from your health care provider. Photo or photocopy also acceptable.

For people who are unvaccinated or cannot prove vaccine status, they will be required to show proof of a negative FDA-approved COVID-19 test from the 72 hours previous to entry. Individuals under 12 years of age, who are not eligible to be vaccinated, are not required to be tested for entry. Your full cooperation and understanding are anticipated and appreciated.

Masks required

Masks are required inside the WAC Clubhouse for everyone five and older, regardless of vaccination status. This rule follows the indoor mask mandate from Gov. Jay Inslee. The rule does not change any WAC capacity limits, and all Club events are expected to continue. Fitness areas, restaurants, and other WAC facilities remain open. This page will be updated with further details as they become available.

Regardless of your vaccine status, if you are showing any COVID-19 symptoms do not enter the Clubhouse.
