Snohomish County Evergreen State Fair

This project focused on the Evergreen State Fair's need for long-term planning insight to support a positive visitor experience for more than 300,000 annual fairgoers, while also making effective use of its year-round facilities. The project examined how guests moved through the fairgrounds, including circulation between exhibit areas, food courts, parking, traffic areas, and major venues such as event centers, arenas, and grandstands. Using existing data collected by the fair, the student team performed simulations of guest movement and identified opportunities for space layout and facility use that could help County Fair leadership plan future improvements.
