Seattleites can say goodbye to Memorial Stadium at a farewell event tomorrow.
Why it matters: The nearly 80-year-old stadium has been home to some of residents' most memorable moments — from the 1962 World's Fair to hundreds of high school games, graduations and concerts.
State of play: The stadium will soon be demolished to make way for a new $140 million facility backed by a public-private partnership between Seattle Public Schools and the city.
Driving the news: The free "Lights Out...For Now" event runs 4–7pm tomorrow at 401 5th Ave. North, on the Seattle Center campus.
It will feature food trucks, photo ops and a performance by Seattle Public Schools' All-City Marching Band, per the school district.
