Each summer thousands of boys and girls across the globe participate in Little League International’s All Star Tournaments.

You may recall last summer watching Eastlake Little League compete on television in the Little League World Series. The journey for that tournament begins at the District level and Richmond Little League has the honor of hosting the District 8 tournament this summer. District 8 encompasses 13 Little Leagues from Seattle to Bothell.

What does it take to host a tournament? A lot of dedicated volunteers and the support of the entire community. Richmond Little League would like to give a huge thanks to local area business for their generous donations. Thanks to their contributions, our volunteers and umpires were kept well fed and hydrated during the hot summer days and evenings. 

A huge thank you to the following Shoreline businesses for their generous donations.

• Broiler Bay Burgers
• Full Moon Thai 
• Safeway on 155th and Aurora
• Shari’s Restaurant
• Streetzeria
• QFC on Richmond Beach Rd

If you would like a small taste of these tournaments the State Senior (15-16 years olds) Baseball and the State Junior (13-14 year olds) Softball tournaments will be held this weekend and next week at Meridian Park playing fields behind the elementary school at N 175th and Meridian. 

Richmond Little League’s Senior All Star team has again made it to this tournament and will be playing their first game at 4pm on Saturday.
