"I'm so excited to be welcoming people from around the world to an incredible FIFA World Cup this year, and I can't wait to make the whole city part of the celebration."Additional activations are planned in downtown Seattle and surrounding neighborhoods, including the Chinatown-International District and Central District."In just over 100 days, Seattle will be buzzing as fans from all over flood our city for an unforgettable summer," said Peter Tomozawa, CEO of SeattleFWC26.
