Where visiting fans stay

Each area changes how you reach Lumen Field and how you get back.

Pioneer Square / Stadium DistrictWalking to the game

Stay in Seattle’s oldest neighborhood, right next to Lumen Field, and walk to the game.

To the stadium
Walk south along 1st Avenue South or Occidental Avenue South to the gate printed on your ticket.
After the game
Walk back the same way after the game.
The tradeoff
Hotels here are few, and none publishes a game-day rate or minimum stay. Streets around the stadium are crowded before and after the game.
Downtown / Pike Place / WaterfrontA city weekend

Stay by Pike Place Market and the waterfront, and ride Link light rail a few stops south to the stadium.

To the stadium
Walk to Westlake Station and ride a southbound 1 Line train to Stadium, International District/Chinatown or Pioneer Square station.
After the game
Walk to one of the three stations and ride a northbound 1 Line train back to Westlake. Trains are busy after the game.
The tradeoff
Downtown hotels charge nightly valet or garage parking and some add a daily amenity fee. The stadium is a separate trip, by train or a long walk.
Capitol Hill / First HillFood and nightlife

Stay up the hill from downtown, among Capitol Hill’s restaurants and bars, and take Link to the game.

To the stadium
Get to Capitol Hill Station on Broadway and ride a southbound 1 Line train to Stadium or International District/Chinatown station.
After the game
Ride a northbound 1 Line train back to Capitol Hill Station.
The tradeoff
The hotel here is on Broadway at First Hill, south of Capitol Hill Station. It lists Lumen Field 1.5 miles away, so check how you’ll reach the station.
SeaTac / AirportEarly flights and lower parking costs

Stay by Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and ride the 1 Line into the city for the game.

To the stadium
Take the hotel shuttle to the airport or light rail, then ride a northbound 1 Line train to Stadium Station.
After the game
Ride a southbound 1 Line train to SeaTac/Airport and call or catch the hotel shuttle.
The tradeoff
It’s a long way from the stadium: a hotel shuttle to the airport or light rail, then about half an hour on the train each way.

To the game and back

The return is its own decision. Read it before you choose where to stay.

Walk from Pioneer SquarePioneer Square / Stadium Districtwalk
Getting there
Walk south to the stadium. The Silver Cloud sits next to Lumen Field, and the Seahawks’ walking map shows routes from Pioneer Square and King Street Station down Occidental Avenue South to the stadium.
Getting back
Walk back the same way. Expect crowded sidewalks for a while after the final whistle.

The map shows routes, not distances or step-free paths. There’s no re-entry after kickoff, so leave your hotel with everything you need.

Route information
Link 1 Line from WestlakeDowntown / Pike Place / Waterfronttransit
Getting there
Board a southbound 1 Line train at Westlake and ride to Stadium Station (501 S Royal Brougham Way), about 8 minutes on Sound Transit’s timetable. International District/Chinatown and Pioneer Square stations also serve the stadium. An adult fare is $3; riders 18 and under ride free.
Getting back
Walk back to Stadium, International District/Chinatown or Pioneer Square station and ride a northbound 1 Line train to Westlake.

Sound Transit warns trains and stations may be busier than usual before and after kickoff; allow extra time. Lumen Field’s page says Link stops running at midnight, but Sound Transit’s 1 Line page publishes different operating hours for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and Christmas Day runs the Sunday schedule. Don’t count on a late train: check Sound Transit’s schedule for your game date.

Route information
Walk the waterfrontDowntown / Pike Place / Waterfrontwalk
Getting there
The stadium’s “Walk or ride to Lumen Field” map marks a walking path from Pike Place Market down to the waterfront, south past Pier 62 and the Great Wheel along Alaskan Way, then inland to Occidental Avenue South and the stadium.
Getting back
Walk back along the same route, or ride a northbound 1 Line train from Stadium or Pioneer Square station to Westlake.

The map gives no distance or walking time, and it’s a long walk from The Edgewater at Pier 67. Pike Place Market sits above the waterfront, so expect stairs or a hill.

Route information
Link 1 Line from Capitol HillCapitol Hill / First Hilltransit

Silver Cloud Broadway is south of Capitol Hill Station and publishes no walking time to it. Trains are crowded before and after the game. Lumen Field’s page says Link stops running at midnight, but Sound Transit’s 1 Line page publishes different operating hours for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and Christmas Day runs the Sunday schedule. Don’t count on a late train: check Sound Transit’s schedule for your game date.

Route information
Rideshare or taxi to the drop-off zoneCapitol Hill / First Hillrideshare
Getting there
Ask to be dropped at the stadium’s passenger drop-off zone off S Charles Street and Occidental Avenue South, reached from 1st Avenue South, across from the Pro Shop. Drivers can drop off until kickoff.
Getting back
The Seahawks say the same area is available after every game. Be patient and follow police instructions; the team says it can get congested.

Police control access close to game time; tell the patrolling officer you’re dropping off. The team publishes no separate rideshare pickup zone or wait times.

Route information
The 1 Line from SeaTac/AirportSeaTac / Airporttransit
Getting there
From SeaTac/Airport Station, ride a northbound 1 Line train to Stadium Station, about 30 minutes on Sound Transit’s timetable.
Getting back
Ride a southbound 1 Line train back to SeaTac/Airport.

No stadium shuttle runs from this area. The train is crowded before and after the game. Lumen Field’s page says Link stops running at midnight, but Sound Transit’s 1 Line page publishes different operating hours for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and Christmas Day runs the Sunday schedule. Don’t count on a late train: check Sound Transit’s schedule for your game date.

Route information
Drive and park off-siteSeaTac / Airportdrive
Getting there
The North Lot and Lumen Field Garage are sold to season pass holders only. For a single game, the Seahawks suggest the Union Station Garage on 4th Avenue or the Mariners Garage next to T-Mobile Park, or private lots south of T-Mobile Park and around Pioneer Square. SpotHero sells reserved game-day spaces.
Getting back
Walk back to your garage or lot and expect heavy traffic in downtown and SoDo after the game.

No tailgating on stadium property, and RVs can’t park at Lumen Field. The stadium is cashless, including its own parking. The team suggests KIRO 710 AM for pregame traffic and parking updates.
