"As you can see, we're taking our PAX East momentum and we're bringing it to Seattle,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of Penny Arcade and PAX. “But, let's stay safe out there. We're proud of our health and safety requirements at the shows, but they work best when they're observed broadly - even outside the show. Observing the rules is how we can have nice things." 

For the safety of every participant, including attendees, exhibitors, guests and staff, PAX West 2022 will require all attendees to show proof of vaccination and attendees must wear face coverings at all times. For more information, please see the official health and safety guidelines.
