Seattle Center Festál unveils schedule to ‘celebrate the rich diversity and culture in the PNW’

SEATTLE. — The Seattle Center Festál has unveiled its 2024 schedule for another fun year of celebrating diversity and culture from around the Pacific Northwest.

This will be the 27th year of the series.

“This beloved series, featuring a dazzling array of two dozen festivals produced by Seattle Center in partnership with community-based organizations from across the region, is set to captivate and celebrate the rich tapestry of Seattle’s cultural communities,” said a news release from the Seattle Center.

All events are free for the community.

“Seattle Center Festál is more than just a series of events, it embodies our commitment to forging One Seattle,” Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said. “Bringing our city’s diverse communities together to share their cultural traditions and customs enriches the lives of everyone and showcases the unique vibrancy of our beloved city.”

SEEN FROM WEST SEATTLE: Downtown drone show

Thanks to Stewart L. for the photos of a drone show over the downtown waterfront tonight, as seen from Harbor Avenue. With Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, the show commemorated the 10th anniversary of the finale of the two-season Disney-produced animated series “Gravity Falls,” and the launch of a new “visual history” of the series, a book titled “The Art of Gravity Falls.”

(It was meant to be seen from the Overlook Walk on the waterfront, so the images visible from here were reversed.)

Seattle Sounders at St. Louis City SC: community player ratings form

The Seattle Sounders traveled to St. Louis on Saturday and came away 1-0 winners in a gritty performance. Soon after halftime, first half substitute Kalani Kossa-Rienzi scored the lone goal following a good counterpress from Jesús Ferreira, with calmness and composure from the goalscorer to pick his spot. The Sounders came under pressure from the hosts, but their defense was resolute throughout, turning aside repeated attacks in exactly the kind of performance you need to win on the road in MLS.

Here is a direct link to the form; we hope this allows everyone to submit a response.

Here’s the scale:
(Substitutes can be left blank if the player did not play enough to judge)
1 – Not a pro quality performance
4 – Average USL Championship starter
6 – Average MLS starter
9 – MLS All Star
10 – MLS MVP-quality performance
