Advice wanted: Planning a trip to Seattle for the club world cup.
Hi all,
RBNY fan here who plans to visit each MLS stadium (currently at 7). I have tickets to Sounders vs Botafogo as I plan on doing a trip to Seattle and Portland in June.
I am trying to decide where I want to stay. I know that Capitol Hill is supposed to be a fun and cool place to stay with lots of restaurants and such. I also found an air bnb in Yesler Terrace or Cherry Hill and wanted to know if it is recommended a tourist stays there (please see location in photo above. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the area. It caught my eye because it seems walkable from there to the stadiums, downtown, and Capitol Hill. Is this a good spot or should I really go for Capitol or somewhere else that I dont know of? (My priorities are doing touristy things, experiencing the city and going to the game).
I would like any recommendations on how to better my soccer tourism experience in Seattle. Any places I need to visit? Anything I need to see to fully experience the Sounders experience? I heard the Timbers army has like a club house with a lot of historical artifacts of their club. Anything like that in Seattle?
Will a game like this feel like the Legendary Sounders crowd that Ive always heard of or will it be different since FIFA is running the show?
Would appreciate any genuine advice. Made the mistake of asking r/seattle if this area is safe for a tourist.
