October 6, 2025 – The skies in the emerald city were illuminated in hues of blue over the weekend. This was in support of the Seattle Mariners hosting their first American League Division Championships since 2001 at T-Mobile Park.
The Mariners tied the best-of-five series against the Detroit Tigers with a 3-2 win on Sunday night after a 2-3 loss on Saturday. Sunday’s victory was the Mariners’ first postseason win at T-Mobile Park since Game 5 of the 2001 ALDS.
The buzz around the city has been electric with over 100k entering the Stadium district for this weekend’s events. Several buildings and structures changed their LED lights for the whole weekend. The Great Wheel on the waterfront was one, and the sculptures at the Pacific Science Museum were another.
The Space Needle was lit up in blue, and blue lights reflected in the fountain below. It is an observation tower located in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood, built for the 1962 World’s Fair.
Former Mariners Mike Cameron and Mark McLemore, both from the 2001 season, raised the Mariners flag on Friday.
Fans flocked to the Seattle Center to take selfies at the base of the Space Needle.The clear weather brought out both local and professional photographers to capture some of the fun.
Games 3 & 4 will both be held in Detroit, Michigan, at Comerica Park starting on Tuesday, October 7th, at 1:08 ET/4:08 PT. Wednesday night’s start will be at 12:08 ET/3:08 PT or at 1:08 ET/4:08 PT, depending on the outcome of the Yankees-Blue Jays series on October 8th.
