Gymnastics Meet Marks Return of Sports Events to Snohomish County

Snohomish County, Washington, will host its first major sports event of 2021 when USA Gymnastics Washington brings the 2021 XCEL Gold/Platinum/Diamond State Championship to Angel Of The Winds Arena. The event, expected to attract 600 gymnasts from across the state, will be staged April 10–11.

The event will feature four sessions on Saturday and three sessions on Sunday with limited capacity for each session. The two-day event has been designed with capacity limits and safety and sanitation standards to meet the guidelines of the state of Washington and Snohomish County Health District.

“Northwest Aerials is excited to be hosting the USA Gymnastics Washington XCEL Gold/Platinum/ Diamond State Competition in Everett, Washington,” said Patti Gable, Northwest Aerials director. “Since there were no state meets held in 2020, we are glad that, with the help of the Snohomish County Tourism Promotion Area, city of Everett and Snohomish County Sports Commission, we are able to offer this opportunity to the top XCEL gymnasts in Washington. Following the state Covid policies, we will be offering a safe and exciting event.”

“We are thrilled to once again host fans in our facility and continue our involvement with gymnastics and would like to thank Northwest Aerials and USA Gymnastics Washington for their commitment to ensuring that the youth across our state can compete this year,” said Corey Margolis, Spectra Venue Management’s general manager at Angel Of The Winds Arena.  “Utilizing Spectra’s ‘Together Again!’ plan, we have implemented many policies and procedures to provide our guests an enjoyable, straightforward, familiar—and above all, safe—experience.”
