Muckleshoot Families Enjoy Mariners’ Field Day at T-Mobile Park

More than 300 Muckleshoot Tribal members and families gathered at T-Mobile Park on Saturday, May 9, for the Muckleshoot Family Mariners’ Field Day, spending the day together surrounded by laughter, sunshine and community.

From little ones running the bases to elders taking in the views from the field, the event brought generations together for a day focused on family and making memories. Tribal members had the opportunity to walk the field, visit the dugout and bullpen and experience parts of the ballpark many people only see on television. Chairman Donny Stevenson and Vice Chair John Daniels Jr. attended the event and spent time visiting with Tribal members throughout the day.

Youth could be seen smiling alongside the Mariner Moose, taking turns at the pitching machine and moving from game to game with friends and cousins. Activities included skeeball, shuffleboard, Connect Four and a Lego station, while families also gathered together to watch a movie inside the stadium.

Classic ballpark favorites filled the day, with pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, Cracker Jack, peanuts and licorice available for families to enjoy. Every attendee also received a commemorative Muckleshoot 2026 T-shirt.

The ballpark was filled with Tribal members simply enjoying time together and making memories with family. Overall, it was a beautiful day at the ballpark and an event many families are already looking forward to attending again next year.
