To the game and back

Choose a route from the area you’re staying in.

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.

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.

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.

Link 1 Line from Capitol HillCapitol Hill / First Hilltransit

Getting there: Board a southbound 1 Line train at Capitol Hill Station and ride to Stadium Station, about 10 minutes on Sound Transit’s timetable. An adult fare is $3; riders 18 and under ride free.
Getting back: Ride a northbound 1 Line train from Stadium or International District/Chinatown station to Capitol Hill.

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.

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.

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.

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.

At Lumen Field

Clear bags only

Bring a clear bag up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches (clear backpacks of that size with no more than two pockets are allowed), a one-gallon clear freezer bag, plus a small clutch up to 4.5 × 6.5 inches. There’s nowhere to store luggage at the stadium. Factory-sealed plastic water bottles are allowed; cans, glass and thermoses aren’t.

Tickets and children

Children who have had their third birthday need a ticket; under-threes can sit on an adult’s lap. All Seahawks tickets are mobile, in the Seahawks app, and screenshots won’t scan because the barcode rotates. Barcodes appear 24–48 hours before kickoff.

No re-entry after kickoff, and cashless

You can leave and come back only until kickoff; after that there’s no re-entry. Lumen Field is cashless: cash-to-card kiosks convert $1–$500 to a prepaid card with no fee.

No tailgating on stadium property

Tailgating isn’t permitted on Lumen Field property. Ticket holders can use Ticketmaster Tailgate inside the Lumen Field Event Center, which opens three hours before kickoff; your game ticket is scanned to enter.

On-site parking is sold out

The North Lot and Lumen Field Garage are sold on a season basis only. For single games the team suggests the Union Station Garage on 4th Avenue or the Mariners Garage, private lots south of T-Mobile Park and around Pioneer Square, or SpotHero reservations.

Light rail, Sounder and ferries

Stadium, International District/Chinatown and Pioneer Square Link stations are all close to the stadium, and King Street Station is a football field away. Sounder game trains are listed for the Oct 4, Oct 11, Nov 8 and Dec 13 games. The Bainbridge and Bremerton ferries dock at Colman Dock, a few blocks away.

Accessibility and drop-off

The accessible drop-off zone is off S Charles Street and Occidental Avenue South, reached from 1st Avenue South; you can’t park there. Wheelchair escorts run from gate to seat. Limited accessible parking is first come, first served at the Union Station Garage, where the elevator at 4th Avenue and the Weller Street overpass avoids stairs.
