In the FIFA spotlight, Seattle Sounders FC fight for breakthrough year
“I feel it. You guys are a good f**king team. You guys are going to go a long way if you guys stick together,” Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer told his players after they delivered an absolute blowout at home. History tells us he’s right to trust his gut. The Rave Green have earned a reputation as the most consistently excellent team in Seattle. In the last 25 years, they’ve only had a losing record on two occasions, and they only missed the playoffs once in club history. In that same span of time, the

A perilous history: FIFA’s relationship with Queer issues
Professional soccer, unfortunately, has never been guaranteed to be welcoming and friendly. For every great thing about the beautiful game, it has always coexisted with ugly speech and behavior. Certain clubs, for decades, have had to repeatedly report incidents of hate and sometimes stop playing entirely, because their fans can’t help but chant slurs like “puto” and “rent boy” at their opponents. As the pinnacle of soccer culture, you’d hope that FIFA would take the initiative to set a better example. Unf

It might have lacked the usual stakes of World Cup soccer, but those rooting for Team USA were jus

Summer camp holds a sacred place in the hearts and minds of many Queer people, especially in the Pacific Northwest. For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, it was the first experience with freedom, a chance to explore identities, and a week to slow down, enjoy nature, do some crafting, and make lifelong memories.

Today on City Cast Seattle, we start with an incredibly local story: Joining host Jane C. Hu is Jed Sundwall, founder of the Downtown Loyal Heights project, which aims to purchase an $8.8 million redevelopment site at the corner of NW 80th and 24th Ave NW.
