PROMOTIONAL HIGHLIGHT
BE ENTERTAINED
IN SEATTLE
WAYS TO HAVE FUN IN THE EMERALD CITY
BY FIONA TAPP
Seattle is the emerald city gem of the Pacific North- west, so named for the lush greenery and verdant forests that snugly surround it all year long. It’s a tech hub of new ideas and urban scenes set within the unrivalled natural beauty of mountain tops, rainforests, meadows and beaches of Washington State. It’s not just the scenery that wows; come for world-class sporting tournaments, vibrant festivals and unique crowd-pleasing events. It’s easy to have fun in Seattle! Take your pick from these city events happening now through fall.
SPORTS GALORE
Seattle caters to every type of sports fan, and this season is no different! The city’s professional teams are ready to take on their rivals and give you an unforgettable experience. Here are some of the upcoming games you won’t want to miss.
BASEBALL
Visit Seattle this summer to see baseball’s biggest and best teams at the 2023 MLB All-Star Game, the Midsummer Classic returning on July 11, 2023, as well as a full roster of accompanying events. Come to cheer on the home squad, the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park, or see how they fare against your favourite team. The season runs through early October, so you have plenty of opportunities to catch a game. If you can’t make it to the All-Stars, then come for the regular season.
SOCCER
Come see the beautiful game and cheer on the Seattle Sounders soccer team at Lumen Field with games scheduled through October. Get into the spirit by meeting up with thousands of fans at Occidental Park 90 minutes before kick-off and then march together to the stadium. This has been a Sounders tradition since 2005.
HOCKEY
This fall, become a KrakHead, the affectionate name given to fans of the Kraken, Seattle’s newest professional sports team. They made their NHL debut on the ice in 2021 and have already qualified for the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs— not bad for a rookie team! Depending on the results of each game you may catch them in the Finals.
