Seattle Southside: Sports Facilities and More
Fabulous sports complexes, family-friendly parks and college-level gymnasiums invite planners and teams to enjoy unforgettable sporting eventsIntroduction
SEATTLE SOUTHSIDE, WASHINGTON
With world-class sports facilities, tons of family-friendly parks and activities, and dozens of highly rated hotels, Seattle Southside is the ideal location for traveling youth sports teams. The region, which encompasses SEA airport and the cities of SeaTac, Tukwila, and Des Moines, is a convenient home base from which to explore Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
But visitors need not go far to find fun ways to fill their free time in Seattle Southside, which is home to more than 100 restaurants (many of which cater to teams or families), and plenty of unique attractions. At Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle’s Restaurant, the whole team can live it up with arcade games, indoor rides, go-karts, and more. Or they can get inspired at the Museum of Flight, one of the largest air and space museums in the world, which offers hands-on activities such as flight simulators.
Thrill-seekers will love iFLY Indoor Skydiving, where they can (safely) leap into a vertical wind tunnel, no matter the weather. And if fresh air calls, visitors can check out one of the area’s lush parks or beaches, where they can catch stunning views of Mt. Rainier, or walk for miles along the Puget Sound coast. Whether the team wants to wind down or turn up, they’ll find the perfect activity for the moment in Seattle Southside.

Don’t just take our word for it, hear what these planners had to say.
“We really like to come to the Southside area…It’s right here, so everything that you want to be able to do this right here. We can pop over to the mall. We can go do the Cheesecake Factory thing. We’re supporting a small Mexican truck when we get out of here. So, it’s just a chance to really do something that’s different than what we get back at home.”
