The second will be on July 9 in Spokane and the third is scheduled on August 20 in Auburn.

The final competition will be held during the 60th Governor’s Industrial Safety and Health Conference in Tacoma on September 28 and 29. Only the top five forklift operators from each regional event can participate in the finals. The winner will get a cash prize and earn bragging rights as the state’s best forklift operator.
