Why the downtown skyline has purple lights and a big ‘100’

Thanks to Wendy for the photo! She sent it with a question about the purple-ish lights on the downtown skyline and the big 100 on the same building known for “12” in times of Seahawks fan frenzies. Here’s the answer: It’s the start of the 100-day countdown to the 2018 Special Olympics, happening July 1st-6th in Seattle.

    That’s cool! 

    What’s much less cool us how little press the amazing athletes that compete in it get though. This is literally the first time I heard we are hosting it here… which should be a big deal for the city and people here.

      They will need thousands of volunteers for the games, if you are interested in getting involved.   It’s fun and rewarding.
