By General Aviation News Staff · March 12, 2020 ·

SEATTLE — Conforming to guidelines set by King County and the State of Washington to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the Museum of Flight has temporarily closed its campus and Restoration Center and Reserve Collection.

No date for reopening has been set.

Employees will have the option to telecommute during this period and the building will continue to stay open as a work place for employees who wish to work on site.

All tickets purchased prior to the closure will be honored at a later date. The museum will offer opportunities for virtual tours, social media, and for otherwise engaging with the museum during the closure, according to officials.
