Job seekers can apply online through the Fair. Applications will not be accepted in person at the Puyallup Fair & Events Center. The Fair has hired approximately 3,000 workers in the past, and plans to hire similar numbers for the Sept. 10-26 Fair.
Seasonal jobs are available in these categories: foodservice workers, cashier, sales staffing, cleaning/maintenance, ride setup, rides and games. Additional information about each job category will be listed on the website. Wages begin at $8.55 per hour, with some paying more based on duties and skills required.
