Mid-July in the Greater Seattle area offers a diverse sports lineup, ranging from top-tier professional leagues like MLB and the WNBA to local summer collegiate baseball. One of the most notable events is the high-stakes soccer match between the Seattle Sounders and Portland on July 16 at Lumen Field, a classic regional rivalry. Baseball fans also have a significant home stand to look forward to, as the Seattle Mariners host the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds for several games at T-Mobile Park.

In addition to major league action, the local sports scene is bolstered by professional women's teams and minor league baseball. The Seattle Storm return to Climate Pledge Arena for a homestand against Minnesota, while the Tacoma Rainiers and Everett Aquasox provide professional baseball options in the surrounding areas. For a more community-focused experience, the Fish Sticks summer collegiate team plays several games at Mel Olson Stadium at Steve Cox Memorial Park.
