Seattle’s 2026 World Cup Sanctuary
Hummingbird Hill | Vashon Island, WA
30 Minutes from the Pitch. A Million Miles from the Noise.
Where the World Cup Meets the Water.
There is a specific magic in the water crossing. While the mainland pulses with the restless electricity of the tournament, the Island remains a world apart. We have curated this residency for the traveler who seeks a deeper connection to their surroundings...a place where your morning begins with the quiet rhythm of the tides and 180° harbor views.
This is your "breath between matches." A sophisticated home base designed for those who know that the best way to honor the excitement of the pitch is to return to the stillness of the shore.

The 30-Minute Threshold
Vashon Island is Seattle’s best-kept secret is an emerald refuge where the city’s pulse slows to the rhythm of the tides. To stay here during the World Cup is more than a logistical choice; it is a tactical advantage.
While the mainland vibrates with the relentless electricity of the tournament, the water crossing acts as a sacred threshold. You are journeying into a world of towering firs, artisan salt air, and a silence so profound it restores the nervous system. You remain close enough to feel the roar of the stadium, but far enough for it to wash away.
Your Island Anchor
Two curated dwellings. One restorative spirit.
Whether you seek the soaring, architectural light of our main estate or the hushed, mossy seclusion of our garden cottage, these spaces are designed to hold the space for your peace.
Choose the sanctuary that suits your rhythm...a steadying home base where you can retreat from the world's cheers to find yourself grounded, refreshed, and ready for the next match.

The Expansive Water View Estate (3BR / 3.5BA)
A sophisticated architectural masterpiece for those who choose to experience the World Cup on their own terms. Defined by soaring glass and 180° harbor views, the Estate is a vessel for intentional hosting and deep decompression. Whether you are gathering a national delegation or a private inner circle, this is your high-vantage retreat. A space to celebrate the roar of the game, then leave it at the shore. |
The Art Garden Guest Cottage (1BR / 1BA)
A detached, light-filled sanctuary tucked within the hidden folds of the garden. The Cottage is the ultimate "reset zone" for the traveler who seeks to be near the energy, but entirely outside the noise. It offers a rare, nest-like seclusion for solo guests, support staff, or security detail, providing a direct connection to the island’s earth energy and the luxury of uninterrupted silence |

From Stillness to the Stadium We bridge the gap between island peace and the stadium roar, curating a journey that is as restorative as the destination. We ensure you never have to navigate the mainland gridlock; you simply flow with the tides. The Island Liaison: Patricia serves as your dedicated chauffeur, providing graceful, door-to-terminal transport. No maps, no logistics, just the view. The 30-Minute Decompression: Your water crossing to the Seattle Waterfront (Pier 50) is your mental reset. Arrive at the edge of the city refreshed and salt-aired, placing you just a scenic "fan walk" through historic Pioneer Square to the gates of Lumen Field. Experience the World Cup your way - close to the energy, away from the friction. |
