Everett, Seattle and Tacoma are the biggest cities therein, all of whom boast ownership to sports teams of various levels. The implications of this gathering prohibition could have massive impact on sporting events up and down I-5.

Tacoma hosts dozens of Washington’s biggest events throughout the year in the Tacoma Dome, and is home to the Tacoma Rainiers.
