Starfire Sports in Tukwila is among the winners of King County’s highest environmental honor - the Green Globe Awards. The awards go to individuals, school districts, cities and businesses that are the Puget Sound region's brightest environmental stars.

Starfire Sports in partnership with Seattle Sounders FC won the award as the leader in Beneficial Use of Reclaimed Water.
Starfire Sports and the Seattle Sounders constructed a new soccer field and landscape areas irrigated with reclaimed water, which is highly treated wastewater that is suitable for irrigation and industrial uses.

This world-class practice field is used by the Seattle Sounders FC and many soccer players from nearby communities. The use of this field by the Seattle Sounders helps demonstrate the benefits of reclaimed water and increase public acceptance of this drought-proof and environmentally sound resource.

"Award winners are leaders, innovators and are truly dedicated to making King County and the greater Puget Sound region such a tremendous place to live, work and play," Executive Constantine said. "I want to thank all of our winners for proving that commitment and dedication makes a positive difference in the community."
