Welcome to True North, a new community dedicated to the passionate, loyal collective that is Mariners fans. Baseball has been entrenched in the Pacific Northwest for well over a century. It’s as much a part of our identity as rain, coffee, and well-worn flannel. We’re here to build on that heritage, while enjoying this unprecedentedly promising era in Seattle baseball. World Series here we come. True North will bring you closer to the Mariners throughout the season with unique, meaningful content. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment for M’s fans to gather – a place to pass around and share our baseball joy like its dessert. We hope you’ll be part of the adventure.
