Fan zones light up western Washington ahead of FIFA World Cup

Seattle’s Pacific Place to host a massive viewing screen and themed experiences as the tournament approaches

A new hub for supporters

A wave of fan‑focused celebration sites is spreading across western Washington as the countdown to the FIFA World Cup accelerates, with Seattle’s Pacific Place emerging as a central gathering point for supporters eager to experience the tournament together.

The venue, scheduled to open by June 15, will showcase a 70‑foot‑high screen that promises an immersive viewing experience, while offering local food, soccer‑themed drinks, and interactive activities designed to capture the spirit of the event.

Beyond the flagship location, additional watch parties are slated for Victory Hall and Pier 62, expanding the network of communal viewing spots throughout Seattle and providing diverse venues for fans to celebrate the global tournament.

Organizers attribute the coordinated rollout to the Seattle Local Organizing Committee, which is building the Soccer House from the ground up. The committee’s leadership includes Chief Experience Officer Mikaela Purvis and Beth Knox, who also serves as President of the Seattle Sports Commission and Board Chair of the Local Organizing Committee.

The centerpiece of the Seattle Soccer House is a 70‑by‑40‑foot screen, touted as the largest display in the region for watching the matches, while themed spaces draw inspiration from the Pacific Northwest’s natural palette, creating a uniquely local backdrop for international fans.
