Are you ready for some fútbol? We're not talking the American kind - come out to cheer for the Seattle Sounders FC soccer team, founded in 2006. The team is a member of the United Soccer League's Premier Development League (PDL). Made up of amateur players from the collegiate level, the Tide entertains sports fans all summer long.

There's a lot of kidding around going on at the Children's Museum of Tacoma. Kids can build new digs, design, build and play with building blocks, and explore painting through tons of fun and challenging, interactive exhibits and attractions. There's a world of fun waiting for kids to explore, discover and do!

Take a different path for a night of entertainment and head over to the Emerald Queen Casino & Hotel in Tacoma. Sure there's plenty of gambling to be had but the real fun begins when you get your ticket to live musical entertainment to see greats like Vince Gill and the Commodores.

Take a detour from popcorn and mega movie venues to check out The Grand Cinema. Meet with friends to chow down on Farrelli's Pizza and watch top ticket independent, art house, and foreign films you won't see anywhere else. Titles have included The Guard, Midnight in Paris and The Whale.
