Seattle's World Cup Organizing Committee will hold its biggest public event, other than the games, at Seattle Center instead of the city's waterfront.
A first look at a rendering of what the Seattle Center is projected to look like during the 2026 World Cup in Seattle.
Organizing Committee CEO Peter Tomozawa told KOMO News a long-planned “fan celebration” will be on the center grounds, extending from MoPop to Fisher Pavilion, and to the Pacific Science Center. It will be formally announced by the committee, and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell on Tuesday morning. “We're playing really into the whole idea of activating the entire city. At the very south end of where the World Cup footprint will be it's the stadium, and sort of anchoring it to the north is now the Seattle Center. Then, we're going to really kind of create and drive activation revitalization through the core of the center of the city and the waterfront,” Tomozawa said, noting that access to the monorail and light rail were also important in the decision.
