Several key matchups stand out as the most significant highlights of the week. Today, the Seattle Mariners host Philadelphia at T-Mobile Park in a mid-day matchup before embarking on an extended road trip to Toronto and Boston. Football fans will be focused on Friday, August 28, when the Seahawks travel to Kansas City for an evening kickoff for their third exhibition game. Meanwhile, soccer enthusiasts have a massive weekend at Lumen Field, which hosts a doubleheader of sorts: the Sounders take on Chicago on Saturday afternoon, followed by the Reign hosting Houston on Sunday.
Basketball fans also have plenty to look forward to at Climate Pledge Arena, where the Seattle Storm host Toronto tonight and then welcome Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.
Finally, local sports enthusiasts can enjoy high school football on Saturday, August 29, as regional teams face off in morning and afternoon matchups at Clover Park and Stadium high school venues.
