Rain City Open sumo tournament today at Seattle Center

Rain City Open sumo tournament today at Seattle Center

Perfect rainy Saturday activity: there’s a live amateur sumo tournament happening at Seattle Center’s Exhibition Hall (301 Mercer St, indoors!) 9am until 5pm. Free to get in.

It’s part of the Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival so there’s taiko drumming, tea ceremonies, koto music, and proper Japanese food alongside the bouts.

Japanese sumo is having a real international revival right now. Worth a wander over if you’re looking for something a bit different today.
