SEATTLE (AP) — A number of activities are keeping people busy Saturday in Seattle.

It’s Maritime Family Fun Day on the waterfront. More than 30 tug boats will race from Pier 86 to the finish line at Pier 66.

Over on Lake Union, volunteers in canoes, kayaks and other boats are conducting their annual trash and debris cleanup.

Video games are set up in the Washington State Convention Center for hundreds of players competing in the Pokemon World Championship series.

And, soccer fans have long been looking forward to the Saturday night match in Qwest Field between the Northwest rival Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders.
