To the game and back

From Uptown on footUptown and Lower Queen Annewalk
Getting there
Walk to the arena at 334 1st Ave N. Doors open 90 minutes before puck drop, and every bag larger than a clutch goes through X-ray screening at the bag lines.
Getting back
Walk back with the crowd. For 45 minutes after the event, rideshare can’t pick up on 1st Ave N; the pickup points are MoPOP and the Space Needle on Broad St.

Seattle Center lists walking from Uptown as an option but publishes no routes or times. There’s no re-entry once you’re inside.

Route information
From Westlake Center on the MonorailDowntown and Westlaketransit
Getting there

Getting back
Ride the Monorail back to Westlake Center. On arena event nights it stays open one hour after the event’s expected end.

Without the pass, the adult fare is $4 one way; ticket machines take cards and contactless payment only, no cash. The pass runs from two hours before doors open until two hours after the event.
