SEATTLE — It’s an exciting time to be a Mariners fan. The team clinched its first ALS West crown in 24 years.

It’s a family- and dog-friendly community festival put on by Canine Companions. The organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs, free of charge.
