The Tacoma-Pierce County Sports Museum has initiated an online auction for a dozen items that remained unsold from the 2025 Tribute to Champions event, which was well-received due to community participation. The auction commenced on May 26 and will close on June 9. Featured items include a "Press Box Experience" from the Mariners and an exclusive home party with former NFL referee Kirk Dornan, who will share insights during a Seahawks game. Additional auction offerings are a "Rainiers Summit Club Package," a wine rack filled with eight bottles of wine, and a "Lobster Lovers Package" that includes a cookbook and two $100 gift cards.
