TACOMA, WASH
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) has officially released the bracket and full schedule for the 2026 District 3/4 4A Girls Basketball Tournament. Tournament play begins Thursday, February 12, and concludes with the District Championship Game on Saturday, February 21, at Auburn High School. All games will be played according to the official schedule and designated sites listed below.
Union, led by Brooklyn Haywood, enters the tournament as the top seed, while Sumner, last season’s state runner-up, is seeded second. Auburn, the defending District Champion, opens postseason play as the third seed.
A year ago, the Sumner Spartans reached the WIAA 4A State Championship Game after suffering a loss in the district tournament to Emerald Ridge, forcing the Spartans to navigate a demanding stretch of win-or-go-home contests just to qualify for state. Auburn claimed the district title last season with a dramatic 46–45 victory over Camas in the championship game. Both Auburn and Camas return to the district field this year with aspirations of another deep postseason run and a return trip to the Tacoma Dome.
