Seattle Hempfest August 17-18-19, 2012

Seattle Hempfest recognizes the Americans with Disabilities Act. For attendees with a disability Hempfest offers the following:

Hempfest has two dedicated motorized carts just for ADA assistance as available, subject to crowding and ability to navigate the cart among festival-goers. Service may be suspended during peak afternoon hours. A limited number of manual wheelchairs (8) will be available on a first come first serve basis. If you need a wheelchair, you should bring your own, if possible. For those who use power chairs, we will have a battery charging station available at the main First Aid tent as well as tools for simple repairs, and we can fix flat tires, if necessary.

Our main First Aid tent is located slightly south of Share Parker Memorial Main Stage, on the west side of the east path ("Highway 420") that runs along the fence by the railroad tracks.

Hempfest's entrances and paths are ADA accessible, and we offer ADA restrooms. When possible, our stages feature volunteer ASL interpreters.

We have volunteer doctors, nurses and other medical professionals on hand who are trained in helping people who need ADA access. We can provide shade, water, rest and food for any ADA attendee who needs it. Any attendee who asks any staff member for assistance with any ADA issues will be directed to First Aid and will be kept safe until their access issues can be resolved.

For people perhaps stuck in a crowded part of the park, we can dispatch a team to assist them back to the First Aid tent where again we can resolve any needs they have.

A disabled person requiring assistance can also inform the Hempfest staff person at the North or South entrances that they require assistance, and our First Aid team will dispatch someone to assist that person. Keep in mind that it may take several minutes for a response, as our staff also must negotiate the crowds and long paths to get to that person.

Service animals welcomed, but otherwise please keep pets at home.
