Seattle Art Museum, National Nordic Museum to reopen this week

If you're not quite ready to stick your fingers inside a bowling ball just yet, there are some other things around the city you'll be able to do starting this week: the Seattle Art Museum and National Nordic Museum are both reopening this Friday after months of closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopenings come Gov. Jay Inslee issued new guidance for museums and bowling alleys on Aug. 20 that allowed museums in Phase 2 counties to reopen at 25% capacity. Previously, museums were not supposed to open until Phase 3 of Washington's Safe Start plan.
