Bellingham, WALocal News

The Seattle Seahawks revealed their schedule through a nostalgic 90's action figure commercial, commencing the season at home against the San Francisco 49ers on September 7. The team will also host at least four primetime games, including a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. In an effort to regain home-field advantage after a lackluster 3-6 home record last season, the Seahawks notified season-ticket holders that their renewal eligibility could be affected by the resale of tickets. General manager John Schneider emphasized the need for fans to make Lumen Field a challenging environment for opposing teams. In Major League Soccer, the Seattle Sounders faced a disappointing 4-0 loss to LAFC, ending their unbeaten streak and marking a significant setback in their season.

In collegiate sports, Western Washington University's softball team fell to Cal State San Marcos 9-1 in the NCAA Super Regional but has another chance to compete in the series. The next game is crucial for the Viks, as they aim to stay alive in the tournament. Overall, the local sports scene remains dynamic, with teams facing both challenges and opportunities.
