Seattle Soccer House at Pacific Place is set to become the hub of a city‑wide celebration as the FIFA World Cup 2026™ draws nearer, offering a free, all‑ages fan zone that invites residents and visitors alike to share the excitement.
A community‑driven soccer festival
Spanning roughly 27,000 square feet, the temporary venue will be divided into six distinct zones, each designed to immerse guests in different aspects of the tournament, highlighted by a towering 70‑foot screen that will broadcast every match.
The event is being organized by the Seattle FIFA World Cup 2026™ Local Organizing Committee in partnership with a coalition of local sponsors, including Alaska Airlines, Amazon, Boeing, Emerald Queen Casino, Microsoft, the Port of Seattle, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the University of Washington.
Guests can wander through The Forest Entry, where a massive world map invites fans to pin their hometown photos, then head to The Watering Hole, a maritime‑themed lounge serving cocktails, beer and wine alongside grab‑and‑go bites, before arriving at The Urban Core, the main viewing arena that features a physical bracket wall and interactive activations.
Families will find a welcoming environment in The Pitch, a kid‑friendly zone with a mini turf field, craft stations and a sensory‑friendly lounge, while The PNW Marketplace offers a pop‑up retail space showcasing official World Cup merchandise, and The Summit Club provides an intimate, lodge‑style setting for invited guests.
Accessibility is a core focus, with ADA‑compliant viewing areas, curated food and beverage options, giveaways and a range of interactive activities designed to ensure everyone can participate.
Getting there is straightforward, with nearby King County Metro bus routes and Link light rail stopping at Westlake Station, and the celebration forms part of a network of four official fan sites across Seattle, alongside Let's Play SEA '26 at Seattle Center, the Seattle Soccer Celebration on Pier 62 and Seattle Matchday Live at Victory Hall.
Peter Tomozawa, CEO of SeattleFWC26, emphasizes the event's focus on bringing people together through shared experiences, while Jim Brooks, President of BH Properties, highlights the commitment to creating dynamic, community‑centered experiences that reflect the intersection of Pacific Northwest culture and soccer.
