Bellingham, WALocal News

The Mariners will open the postseason at home this Saturday against the winner of the Tigers-Guardians Wild Card Series. Seattle officials have indicated that the Mariners' playoff schedule might conflict with the Seahawks' next two home games, prompting possible delays in kickoff times of up to two-and-a-half hours. The Huskies suffered a loss to Ohio State, ending their 22-game home win streak, which was the second-longest in college football. Meanwhile, the Cougars secured a 20-3 victory over Colorado State, showcasing a strong defensive performance. In MLS, the Sounders clinched a playoff berth following a draw with the Whitecaps, and the Reign's recent win moved them to fourth in the NWSL standings.

High school football featured Anacortes edging out Lynden 26-23, while Sehome's Nolan Wright set a new record for touchdown passes in Whatcom County. The Mariners' playoff games could significantly impact traffic and scheduling around Seattle's sports venues. Local officials will monitor the situation as they await MLB's decision on game times.
