One of our favorite GeekWire events – our annual rooftop BBQ and Summer Sounders Day party – returns next Tuesday, September 14th, to the spectacular deck of First Mode in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood.
Don’t miss the celebrations with breathtaking views, cool swag, surprising guest appearances, cold drinks, delicious BBQ and the first gathering of the GeekWire community in over 18 months. In addition, the BBQ at 7:00 p.m. will be followed by a decisive semi-final game of Seattle Sounders FC in the League Cup against Santos Laguna
Tickets for the summer BBQ and soccer game are available here.
Introduce your team and catch up on the latest tech happenings with GeekWire staff and hear pre-game commentary from Sounders FC majority owner Adrian Hanauer.
We’ll start the tailgate on the roof at 4:00 p.m. and wrap things up around 6:30 p.m. so those taking part in the Sounders game can take the few steps to the north entrance of Lumen Field.
A big thank you to First Mode for supporting our first event in 2021.
Of course, given the current COVID situation, we have not fully normalized, so we are taking extra precautions for those attending the pre-game party and game. Proof of vaccination – either physical or digital ID – must be presented to enter the party. We also follow all masking guidelines for indoor activities as well as major events like the Sounders Match. In addition, upon arrival in First Mode, we perform temperature controls, provide sufficient hand sanitizer, and direct most of the event’s activities to the beautiful outdoor areas.
Please note this event is 21+ and see our full COVID policy in the FAQ on the event page.
