Where to watch World Cup games in Seattle: Over 20 fun watch party spots
Visit this page for more World Cup coverage.
Everybody in Seattle is having a World Cup watch party this summer as the globe's greatest soccer tournament takes over the Emerald City.
Even Pacific Place, Seattle Public Library branches and Sea-Tac Airport are hosting livestreams! Did we mention the soccer barge floating on Elliott Bay?
If you aren't going to a match at Lumen Field (er, Seattle Stadium), you can root on the United States at a sports bar - or you can think outside the box, like a QFC-turned-flea-market on Capitol Hill (U.S. vs. Paraguay on June 12) or a historic art deco theater in Edmonds (U.S. vs. Turkey on June 25).
Seattle is also home to fanbases for many of this year's World Cup competitors. We found more than 20 interesting local watch parties that combine football with the food, flavors and fandom of the teams playing on the pitch.
