Special Olympics Washington Fall Games, November 2020
Description:
For Special Olympics, the state of Washington is divided into three regions, Southwest, Northwest, and
East. In 2017 and 2018, the Fall Games were held in the Seattle/Tacoma/Everett area. In 2019 and
again in 2020, the East Region hosted/will be hosting the Fall Games in the Tri-Cities. The Fall State
Games is the final event of the Fall season. These Games are the season’s biggest stage for Special
Olympics athletes to demonstrate their athleticism and talent. Participants and their families and
coaches from across the state of Washington are expected to attend. Teams throughout Washington
state compete at Regional’s for their spot to represent their Local program at State Games.
For the 2020 Fall Games, 650 athletes are expected to be competing in one of four events: flag football,
volleyball, bowling, and artistic gymnastics. Participants, coaches, and families are expected to travel to
the Tri-Cities on Friday, November 20. Opening ceremonies will be held Friday evening. The Games
themselves will be conducted on Saturday, November 21, with bowling and flag football continuing
Sunday, November 23. The events will begin at 8:00 am on Saturday and conclude by approximately
noon on Sunday. A Victory Dinner and Dance will be held Saturday evening for the athletes. Some
participants will return home on Saturday, but most are expected to return home on Sunday.
The venues for the opening ceremonies, dinner/dance and four competitions have not been finalized,
but in 2019, each of Tri-Cities hosted two of the events. The Hapo Center hosted the Opening
Ceremonies Friday evening, and Chiawana High School hosted the Victory Dinner and Dance, Olympic
Town, and Healthy Athletes. A large fraction of the athletes and coaches stayed at the Pasco Red Lion
Hotel and Conference Center.
Special Olympics Washington is the primary organizer for Special Olympics activities and events at the
local, regional, and state level across the state of Washington. In the Tri-Cities, Special Olympics is
teaming with The Arc of Tri-Cities. The Arc has responsibility for organizing and conducting athletic

Dear Ms. Pashom,
The Pasco Chamber of Commerce is re-submitting last year’s application for 2021 Lodging Tax
Funds. The 2020 funds have been expended as per the application. However, with the
uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been advised to just resubmit the 2020
application for 2021. We will not likely produce the Eastern WA Ag Expo & Ag Hall of Fame in
January 2021. We are still providing visitor related and relocation inquiry assistance. We are
making efforts to create a new event that will encourage of area participants and vendors
leading to overnight lodging, and exploring ways to pivot and delay the Ag Hall of Fame event
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Colin Hastings, Executive Director
