News and Events

It is the first time in school history our baseball team has advanced to the state tournament. Besides letting you know about the team's success they also want you to know they are selling tickets to the Monday, June 3rd Mariners game against the Chicago, White Sox. The game starts at 7:10 pm and the price per ticket is $10. It is a fun evening to share with the WSHS baseball team, their families and friends. Over the last 4 years our team has partnered with the Mariners to sell 1,000 tickets to a designated ballgame. In return, each Spring, our team has had the privilege to play against another area high school team at Safeco Field. It is such an experience for the Wildcats to play at Safeco.  It's also a thrill for their friends and families to watch for FREE!

The team is asking  for your support to keep this opportunity available to our players by purchasing tickets to the game.  The team needs to sell 200 tickets by Friday, May 31st. If we don't succeed we will lose the opportunity to play at Safeco Field for many years or possibly forever because there is a long waiting list and only a handful of schools get to participate in this program each year. If the current participating schools continue to sell the allotted number of tickets each year they continue to participate in the program, if they don't they are placed at the bottom of the list. Please let's not let this happen to our West Seattle High School team.

For tickets please contact Gina Coats at (206) 779-9793.
