Playoffs are different imo. You never know who that person is keeping the ball for. For some it's once in a lifetime and they may never have been so lucky as a kid.

Last week's fast-tracking of a pipeline and export terminal in BC will only exacerbate risks to Southern Resident orcas, fueling climate change while increasing shipping noise (which makes it harder to communicate and locate prey), and increasing risk of a catastrophic oil spill in the Salish Sea.

75 of these whales remain. A new West Coast pipeline would be 'devastating' for them, experts say | CBC News
Multiple environmental groups are concerned the Alberta government's proposed oil pipeline route poses a risk to southern resident killer whales. They are protected under the Species At Risk Act, but ...

It’s a beautiful October day at Pike Place Market! Inviting all car traffic back Monday through Thursday was a mistake, that we should fix for next year.

October is low-key one of the best months in Seattle. The sky is a certain shade of blue on sunny days that you only get in the early fall.

I probably should be more worried about this. I mean, I think we’ll know there’s been fraud if the Republicans continue to hold the House, that feels pretty likely. The Senate is on enough of a knife’s edge that I imagine any efforts made there will be harder to detect.

I'm not sure how, but we need to be ready for this level of solidarity very quickly in this country. We should have already done this for gun violence in schools, and obviously we also have staffing and infrastructure issues that seem minor comparatively.

Women's sports are a big deal in Seattle, so we're launching a beat
Seattle is one of the few U.S. markets with teams from each of the three big women’s professional leagues. Kate Shefte is our lead reporter on the new beat.

It's late January 2027, Minnesota has won the national championship. And Washington is runner up with their two losses to Minnesota. Book it. 😂 Couldn't agree more that it feels like that's a team that actually wants to be there and play for their school. Hopefully the Dawgs learn from that.

Yeah an open letter people can sign on to would seem to be a good move. I feel like the alliance council should do this (are they on bluesky?)

Seeing the Ninety with its rave green lighting slowly fading to white and a For Lease sign the other night hit hard.
The ninety, a now defunct space in pioneer square once hailed a Sounders supporters clubhouse in the heart of the city, sits vacant with a for lease sign and some of its iconic green neon lights turning white.

Just a couple more of these in a row and that's a pretty decent Sounders stadium right downtown 😂

And it would be terrible for pioneer square! I'm sure they make nowhere near the money they do on Seahawks gamedays, but they'd be losing out on more than 30 dates of events in the area worth of parking, restaurants, bars, etc.

To be clear, my comment isn't ABOUT the ninety, but it seemed emblematic when I walked by the other night.

Totally agreed. Tonight, I find myself more upset that they're being flippant about the gravity of the connection with pioneer square & seattle. Especially after the summer + world cup - it's just unbelievable to me. It makes so little sense I want to believe it's 3D chess for a lumen deal 😅

This is bigger than the name of the city that comes before @soundersfc.com. This is about whether you choose to abandon a city and a neighborhood that has done nothing but embrace you. Entire communities would be excluded from attending by moving to Renton. Remember, you are stewards of this club.

Tom Glanz @tomglanz.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Ownership says the stadium situation is untenable. The ownership situation actually feels like the lever that needs to be changed. If they can't get a deal done with better terms in Lumen, and their fallback is a small stadium in Renton, they absolutely need to sell the team.

Tom Glanz @tomglanz.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
You'd think this would be a perfect situation to use a supporter alliance council to help steer the direction of the next generation of the club. In Renton, they'd average under 20k and it would be a sports business failure of epic proportion to let the brand deteriorate like that.

Tom Glanz @tomglanz.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I think I sadly know the answer but is there anything supporters can realistically do to influence lease terms or the situation at Lumen? It seems like the front office IS trying things this year to change the vibe, but it's also inconsistent and not enough. Can pressure be applied to first & goal?

To this point, a follow up to Hanauer should be ‘what are you asking for in a lease agreement?’

Owners should be fixated on getting back to an average of 43k per game and not moving to a small stadium that couldn’t support anything close to that.

This will be a fun call to make in the AM. I've been holding on to the daily sub after my dad passed, waiting to reduce to Sundays only. He always complained when the Seahawks had 5 pages about losing and the Sounders had one with a big win or signing. He'd think this was a great reason to cancel.

A 40-year-old unvaccinated woman in Pennsylvania has just died from measles. There is no controversy. She needlessly died from a disease that is preventable with a vaccine. But HHS Secretary RFK Jr. thinks measles isn’t that bad. Nobody should die of measles in the United States.

The 40-year-old woman, who was from Jefferson County was unvaccinated, according to the coroner. The state health department is conducting a "thorough review" of the case.
