King County Local Services put on a show on Friday in the heart of White Center with multiple live World Cup games being shown on giant screens placed on the street.
Even a little rain didn't dampen the spirits of those attending who participated in the fun by giving their best impression of the famous soccer celebratory shout, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
Local businesses were open during the event giving people a chance to duck in out of the weather.
