Inclement weather
We follow the Seattle Public Schools closure decisions. If Seattle Public Schools are closed or delayed, the Memory Hub will be closed to the public and all programs and events will be cancelled for the day. Info on any Memory Hub schedule changes will be updated by 8am on the Memory Hub website homepage banner and on the front desk voicemail message.
COVID-19 Guidelines
The Memory Hub updates its mask policy seasonally, with masks recommended during times of higher respiratory virus transmission rates in the community (typically Jan-April). We recommend that visitors are up-to-date on the Covid-19 vaccinations for which they qualify. We ask that you please stay home if you are not feeling well. Our guidelines are created in consultation with University of Washington COVID-prevention staff, UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center leadership, and in alignment with current approaches used by senior centers in our region.
