Seattle – Today at Lumen Field during Club World Cup festivities, Mayor Bruce Harrell joined the Seattle FIFA World Cup 26 Organizing Committee (SeattleFWC26) and community leaders to announce that volunteer registration has opened for the 4th Annual One Seattle Day of Service on Saturday, July 12, 2025.
This year’s Day of Service will be held less than one year away from the 2026 World Cup and during the Club World Cup. This citywide volunteer effort will bring thousands of neighbors together to show our civic pride and get our city ready for the global stage.
“With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Seattle has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to show the world who we are – a city united by compassion, inclusion, bold action, and a deep commitment to each other,” said Mayor Harrell. “I’m excited to join together once again with neighbors and community partners for this year’s Day of Service, and encourage all Seattleites to roll up their sleeves, lend a helping hand, and help us make a lasting impact on July 12.”

“The Day of Service is a powerful way to build stronger communities and create a culture of kindness and compassion in our city through acts of service. As we prepare for Seattle to be on the world stage in 2026, the Day of Service is an opportunity to come together – across neighborhoods, backgrounds, and generations – to show the heart of our city and the power behind One Seattle.”

Tuyen Than, Executive Director, Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area
“The One Seattle Day of Service is a reminder that when we care for our neighborhoods, we care for each other. Every neighbor who shows up shows what it means to care for a place that matters—and to build the kind of neighborhood we want the world to see.”
Tammy Canavan, President and CEO, Visit Seattle
“We’re excited to participate in the One Seattle Day of Service again this year, beautifying the Downtown Core where we are so lucky to host millions of visitors a year. These visitors drive over $8.8 billion in spending, generate $839 million in state and local taxes, and help to create an environment where 68,000 people get to go to work each day. These key pathways connect people to all that makes Seattle magical: our diverse local businesses, our easily-accessible natural beauty, our incredible culinary scene and public spaces. We look forward to making an impact on this important day of community pride.”
