From the pitch to the ballpark ⚾️
Last Friday, the SODO BIA, Alliance of Pioneer Square, and CID BIA came together to thank the businesses and ratepayers who helped make this summer’s World Cup a success.
It was a great evening at the @mariners game celebrating partnerships, resilience, and community during an unforgettable month of games!
Here’s to everything we accomplished together 💪
This is how we’re feeling for Night Out next week 😄
We’ll have a special service dog demonstration starting at 5:00pm, lawn games, and tasty bites. Check out our photos from last year’s event.
Plus, a special surprise “refresher” 😉 Come join us next Tuesday at 4-6pm at Canine Companions to see for yourself!

Seattle’s host city role might be over, but the legacy continues. 🤝 We’ve received great feedback from the community and local businesses in the district about the SODO Welcome Center, including a shoutout in @seattletimes
The center will continue to be operational long after the games. If you haven’t stopped by yet, come see us! We have giveaways, local recommendations, and opportunities to promote small businesses.
