Packing downtown Seattle on an overcast weekday afternoon, thousands of soccer fans celebrated the Seattle Sounders' second MLS Cup win with a parade from Westlake Park to Seattle Center.

The partying has gone on since Sunday when the Seattle Sounders beat Toronto FC here at home 3-1.

Fans like Marlyce Erickson, who was completely covered in green and blue at Tuesday's parade, said this is only the beginning for Seattle soccer.

"We've got a big stadium, we got lots of fans here, we're definitively a soccer city," Erickson said, "I think it's going to be nothing but moving forward."

The parade, a sea of bright green scarves, headed to Seattle Center where a rally was held at Fischer Pavilion.

Sounders team members stood on double-decker buses and hoisted the massive MLS Cup up for all to see.
