“King County made history as a FIFA World Cup host, and we couldn’t have done it without our residents, local businesses, and the thousands of King County employees who worked behind the scenes to make this tournament a success.

Together, we:

• Welcomed millions of transit riders throughout the tournament.
• Hosted visitors from around the world.
• Supported local businesses and celebrations across King County.
• Kept matches, watch parties, and communities safe, welcoming, and moving.

Amazing run, Team USA! Thank you for bringing so much excitement and joy to the nation. Seattle and King County were proud to host you this summer.”
