ADA & Accessibility at

Wild Winds West

Music Festival

Wheelchair Accessibility

Wild Winds West is hosted at the Enumclaw Expo Center, featuring a natural landscape of grass, dirt, and gravel. Please note that some areas of the venue have uneven terrain, and consistent concrete pathways are not guaranteed. We recommend that guests with mobility challenges bring their own transportation, such as wheelchairs or scooters. If you need to recharge a motorized wheelchair, a charging station is available upon request at our guest services tent at the entrance of the event. Attendees should bring their own cords and accessories for charging, ensuring their devices are compatible with a 110-volt, 20-amp circuit.

Service Animals

Wild Winds West Music Festival welcomes service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the ADA, a service animal is “any dog individually trained to perform tasks or do work directly related to a person’s disability, benefiting an individual with a disability.” These tasks must directly address the handler’s specific disability.

Emotional support animals, therapy animals, companion animals, and pets do not qualify as service animals under ADA guidelines and are not permitted at the festival. Only trained service animals, properly cared for by their handlers, will be granted credentials and allowed on the festival grounds. Handlers must have their service animal approved and credentialed at the Front Gate immediately upon arrival.

Only service animals are allowed inside EEC property no pets/comfort animals. All service dogs must be leashed at all times, RCW 49.60.40 / RCW 70.84.021

Guests with disabilities bringing a legitimate service animal must adhere to the following policies, which align with ADA standards:

  • Service animals must remain with their handler at all times and be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless these devices interfere with the animal’s work or the handler’s disability prevents their use. In such cases, the handler must maintain control using voice commands, signals, or other effective methods.

  • Service animals must never be left unattended.

  • Service animals must be fully housebroken, and handlers are responsible for cleaning up after them.

  • Handlers are liable for any damage or injury caused by their service animal.

  • All service animals must have up-to-date, legally required vaccinations.

  • Approval and credentialing of service animals will be conducted by festival staff trained in ADA compliance.

The festival reserves the right to remove or deny entry to any service animal deemed a health or safety risk to attendees, staff, or other service animals, or if it violates these policies. For questions or assistance, please contact the festival’s ADA team at the Front Gate.
