On Saturday, Queen Anne Avenue was alive with the sound of Brazilian drums and about 200 young softball and baseball players to celebrate the Opening Day of the 2025 Little League Season.

The clear skies and Seattle’s Mortimer “Mariner” Moose were an added surprise. Queen Anne Little League’s Tommy Kim welcomed fans and players. Speakers included Ellen Monrad, the Chair of Queen Anne Community Council, and the longtime QALL coach, Ed Artis.  

QALL’s Heart of the Hill campaign is in full swing, and they are looking for as many donations and volunteers as possible to partner with Seattle Parks and Recreation to transform the field at Big Howe and make Queen Anne the destination for children’s baseball and softball.
