Come join the fun on the First Mode rooftop patio on Aug. 2. (GeekWire File Photo)

One of our favorite GeekWire events — our annual summer rooftop BBQ and Sounders Day party — makes its return Tuesday, Aug. 2nd on the spectacular rooftop deck of First Mode in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood.

Don’t miss the festivities, which includes stunning views, cool swag, surprise guest appearances, cold beverages and yummy BBQ. Plus, the party will be followed by a crucial Seattle Sounders match against FC Dallas at 7 p.m.

Tickets to the summer BBQ and the soccer match available here.

Bring out your team, and connect with the GeekWire community at one of the coolest settings in Seattle.

We’ll kick things off at 4 p.m. for the rooftop tailgate, and then wrap things up around 6:45 p.m. so those who are attending the Sounders match can walk the few steps to the north entrance of Lumen Field.

A huge thanks to sponsors First Mode and WaFd Bank for supporting this fun annual tradition

Of course, given the current COVID situation, we’ve not fully returned to normal, so we are taking extra precautions for those who attend the pre-game party and the match. Proof of vaccination — either physical or digital cards — must be shown to enter the party. In addition, we’ll take temperature checks upon arrival to First Mode, provide ample hand sanitizer, encourage indoor masking and direct most of the activities at the event to the beautiful outdoor spaces.

This event is 21+, and see our full COVID policy in the FAQ on the event site.
