Western Washington celebrates a Senior Night takedown of Simon Fraser, the No. 1-ranked team in NCAA Division II, at Harrington Field. The Vikings, blanked by the Clan, 3-0, on Oct. 14 in Burnaby, B.C., never trail in their 2-1 upset. Senior defender Stephen Jinneman puts WWU up in the 27th minute by sliding into Drew Barker's corner kick to the far post. Western doubles the lead in the 70th minute when Christian Rotter beats a defender and fires home from 11 yards. Simon Fraser entered the game 16-0-0 while outscoring opponents 59-7.

The Seattle Pacific women win their 23rd straight game, 4-0 over Incarnate Word, to win the Super Regional and reach the NCAA Division II semifinals for the second time in three years. Jocelyn Charette scores twice, 56 seconds apart, in the match's first four minutes. With their third straight postseason shutout and 15th altogether, the Falcons become the first women's program in the state to win 23 games.

Hosting 2026 World Cup matches in Seattle could cost the city over $10 million, according to estimates from Mayor Jenny Durkan's office. However, the estimates of $10.5M for five games would almost entirely offset by reimbursements from FIFA. Stadium security is the biggest expense, at $1.3M per game.

Sixty teams begin play across eight divisions of the state men's league, however one is unique. Mike Ryan enters his Camp Brotherhood staff team, which is the first genuine coed club in league history. Whereas past teams had one female, several women are included on Ryan's roster in Division 6.

Both a testimonial match and banquet are held for the ailing Barney Kempton. Proceeds go toward Kempton's medical expenses. Over 500 see Vancouver's Royal Oaks defeat a Seattle all-star selection, 2-0, at Catholic Memorial. Former mayor Bobby Harlin, sports promoter and newspaper editor Royal Brougham are among the banquet speakers who toast Kempton's years of service to the game over 40 years. Besides being an outstanding winger in his day and key administrator, he is credited with keeping the youth game alive, having helped organize the sport in Parochial schools under auspices of the CYO.

Following a skid of six losses in seven games, the Seattle Sounders score four in the second half to smash Portland, 5-1, before a Boeing Night crowd of 34,012. Derek Smethurst nets only the second hat trick in club history by scoring in the 52nd, 66th and 81st minutes. John Ryan converts a pair of penalties. Seattle had scored only three times in those six losses.
