This summer, Seattle becomes one of 16 North American cities to host FIFA World Cup matches.

That includes six games, a projected 750,000 visitors, and nearly a billion dollars flowing into King County.

Whether your favorite local business catches a windfall or gets relegated to the sidelines depends partly on how well they prepare, according to Lynnette Buffington with the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.
