White River Amphitheatre
Auburn, WA · Amphitheater
White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, southeast of Seattle on Muckleshoot tribal land, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring a clear plastic bag no bigger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches, or a small clutch, wristlet, or fanny pack up to 6 by 9 inches that does not have to be clear. Food is fine in a clear one-gallon Ziploc bag.
One quirk to note, metal and stainless steel reusable water bottles are not allowed, though an empty plastic bottle or a factory-sealed plastic bottle up to a gallon is fine. Coolers, lawn chairs, and stadium seats all stay home, and there is no bag check, so pack clear before the show.
