SEATTLE — Health officials in Washington state are warning residents about a Canadian who traveled to the Seattle area and has been diagnosed with measles.

King County health officials say the man in his 40s from British Columbia traveled to the Seattle area in late April and has since recovered from his illness. Before arriving in King County, he spent time in Japan and New York City, where there are currently measles outbreaks.

Officials say this case isn’t connected to a recently ended outbreak in Clark County.

While the man was infected, he visited several Seattle locations, including the Space Needle, the Museum of Pop Culture, coffee shops, the Pink Door restaurant and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, public health officials said. He also took the monorail, they said.

Officials warn that anyone who doesn’t have immunity through vaccination or a previous infection is at risk. Measles is a highly contagious disease.
