Outdoor Business Activities

The City Council wishes to encourage business activity consistent with applicable Stay Safe – Stay Healthy requirements. This includes, without limitation, the requirements of Proclamation 20-25.8. To make gyms, fitness facilities, restaurants, taverns and other food and beverage establishments safer and more viable to operate, opportunities are available to leverage private and public space to be used as additional outdoor areas for fitness classes and dining activity while maintaining applicable social distancing requirements. The Council believes that allowing fitness facilities and gyms to temporarily expand their fitness classes onto privately-owned parking facilities, where they may not otherwise be permitted by City code, will support the Governor's Stay Safe – Stay Healthy plan, encourage compliance with social distancing requirements, and promote business operation and economic recovery.

Temporary Tents and Membrane Structures during the pandemic will be allowed for this use. In order to comply with Fire and Building Safety regulations, the City of Monroe Building Division and Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue have combined their resources to offer guidelines specific to the construction of these types of structures. The permit application can be found on the City’s website. For further information and direction, please contact: 

  • City Building Official Stacy Criswell: (360) 863-4536 or scriswell@monroewa.gov
  • Deputy Fire Marshal Jason Bowen: (425) 328-0328

The City Permit Division is also available for questions at (360) 863-4501 or building@monroewa.gov.
