Having a parade through downtown Seattle was right, just, and wonderful. It was a great moment for the people of Seattle and the city’s closest suburbs. But Sounders fans are more than just residents of Seattle. This team is quite literally named after “the people of the Puget Sound.” To that effect, MLS Cup is touring a greater range of locales.
On Wednesday, it hit up Olympia and the Washington State Capitol.

It wasn’t alone.
The boat commute is always enjoyable but made extra special today with an additional passenger - the @SoundersFC 2016 MLS Cup trophy. pic.twitter.com/V0Ag4kFnZK

This is a celebration of the Sounders — both the team and the people. It feels rather certain that the MLS Cup, our MLS Cup, will continue to travel and meet people beyond the Seattle city limits. This is our Sound.
