Welcome to the 2026 FIFA World Cup! For almost a century, this worldwide spectacle has united countries and cultures alike due to the unyielding unity the world of soccer manifests. This year marks the 23rd edition of the tournament and will be held across North America.

While visiting the Pacific Northwest for the 2026 FIFA World Cup we encourage making the brief scenic drive to North Bend to explore this growing gem. While the Emerald City provides plenty to explore from picturesque Pike Place Market to the iconic Space Needle, a brief drive east nestled in the mountains and evergreen forests is the City of North Bend.
An outdoor paradise, North Bend is the perfect destination for the active, outdoorsy, and those seeking family outings. Surrounded by the Cascade Mountains, this charming town boasts scenic views and is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
From day trips to multi-day trips, North Bend is abundant with hiking and cycling trails, shopping and dining, breweries, and a beloved art culture. Take a trip and visit the staples every Seattlleite has explored such as Mount Si, Rattlesnake Ledge, and the famous Twede's Cafe. The time to adventure North Bend is now.
