Families who hit Sky Zone Beaverton for some weekend trampoline time may have gotten more than they bargained for. State health officials say anyone who visited the park last Saturday between noon and 3 p.m. could have been exposed to measles after a confirmed case spent time there. People who develop fever, cough, a rash or red eyes are being urged not to walk into a clinic or doctor’s office without warning and instead call ahead before seeking care.
Possible Exposure At Sky Zone Beaverton
The Oregon Health Authority and Washington County Public Health flagged the potential exposure on Thursday, saying the risk window was between noon and 3 p.m. last Saturday, according to KATU. Anyone who was at the trampoline park during that time is being asked to contact their health care provider, let them know about the possible exposure and follow the steps they recommend.
How Measles Spreads And What To Watch For
The Oregon Health Authority says measles spreads through coughs and sneezes, and the virus can hang in the air for up to two hours. That means people who showed up after the infectious person left could still be at risk. Symptoms usually start 7 to 21 days after exposure, and people are contagious for about four days before the rash appears and about four days after it shows up, according to the Oregon Health Authority.
Regional Context: Cases Are Up This Year
Across the Pacific Northwest, public health officials have been logging more measles activity in 2026. Washington state has reported multiple cases and is posting public exposure sites on its measles page, according to the Washington State Department of Health. Local TV coverage of the Beaverton Sky Zone notice has reinforced that public-place exposures from clinics to businesses have been a recurring theme in recent months (KPTV).
If You Were At The Park
Anyone who was at Sky Zone during the listed time and is unsure about their immunity is being asked to call their health care provider or urgent care before showing up and to check in with Washington County Public Health at 503‑846‑3594 for guidance. For people without documented immunity, federal health officials say an MMR vaccine given within 72 hours of exposure may prevent measles or make it milder, and immune globulin may be offered to certain high-risk individuals within six days of exposure, according to the CDC. Anyone who might have been exposed should watch for fever, cough, red eyes or rash for up to three weeks and tell their provider if symptoms develop.
Advice For Parents And Party Planners
Because Sky Zone is a go-to spot for birthday parties and big group events, health officials say it is a good time for parents to pull out those vaccination records. Two doses of MMR are considered highly effective at preventing measles, and if there is any doubt about a child’s or adult’s vaccine history, officials recommend checking in with a provider. Earlier regional coverage of measles alerts may also help families gauge their risk level, including a recent report on a Happy Valley clinic measles hotspot.
