The Seattle Traveler

This weekend. . .
. . . bring your mitt, grab a hotdog, and catch a little big league action at Safeco Field as the Seattle Mariner’s suit up to play the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.  Tickets start at $8 for center field bleacher seats.  There’s a roof if it rains.
Or catch some minor league action at Everett Memorial Stadium as the Everett Aquasox play the Tri-City Dust Devils.  Tickets start at $7.  Bring an umbrella in case of rain.
Two good options – take your pick!
