In light of the recent proclamation by Governor Jay Inslee to shut down restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities, the Smith Tower Visitor Experience will temporarily suspend all operations, effective March 16, 2020. As soon as we have more information about our re-opening date, you'll be the first to know.
We'll be reaching out to guests who've pre-purchased admission tickets for a date in the future, as well as clients with confirmed event or group reservation bookings, to assist them in making alternative arrangements.
We look forward to welcoming our visitors and locals back as soon as possible.
Regards, David Lennon GM, Smith Tower Visitor Experience
