The group will work with Seattle Metro Chamber and the Seattle Mariners.
This is the third time Seattle is hosting the MLB All-Star Game and the first time in 22 years. The previous games were in 1979 at the Kingdome and 2001 at what was then known as Safeco Field.“We are proud to announce an opportunity for community members across our region to roll up their sleeves and help get Seattle ready for the national stage,” the Seattle Mariners wrote in a prepared statement.
Participants are expected to gather around 9 a.m. at the ballpark to clean up areas including Pioneer Square, SODO, and the Chinatown/International District. The SODO and CID Business Improvement Areas, The Alliance for Pioneer Square, the Downtown Seattle Association, and the Midtown Improvement District are just some of the organizations that will be involved with the cleanup alongside devoted fans and local residents.
Multiple homeless encampments have been swept throughout the region in the months prior to the MLB’s festivities, including, most recently, a camp near that was causing much frustration among residents, city leaders, business owners, and the homeless residing in the camp themselves.
