Getting to T-Mobile Park

Seattle Mariners · Seattle, WA

T-Mobile Park is served by two light rail stations within a short walk, and Link runs postgame until 1am every day of the week — one of the few venues where the last train is genuinely later than the last out. The Mariners also organise driving the useful way round: the exit you want depends on where you intend to park, not on which direction you came from.

Tips & Fan Reports

If you can get a place within walking distance of T-Mobile Park it will be a much better experience. Traffic gets pretty bad around game time. The Silver Cloud hotel across the street is supposed to be the best option.

The 2 Line connects at International District/Chinatown from 28 March 2026, which makes this a viable trip from the Eastside.

VYT Research

Two Link stations serve the ballpark: Stadium and International District/Chinatown, both a short walk.

I-5, I-90 and SR-99 all run within half a mile of the ballpark.

Link runs postgame until 1am every day — extra innings will not strand you.

Pick your motorway exit by where you are parking, not by the direction you arrive from; the Mariners list them that way deliberately.

Transit

Sound Transit: Link is a flat fare, "One-way adult fares are $3.00", regardless of distance. Sounder is distance-based and the published matrix gives Tacoma Dome to Seattle King Street at $5.25 (Lakewood $5.75, Puyallup $4.75, Kent $4.00, Tukwila $3.75), so the entry now names where the rider boards -- a day pass is twice the one-way fare
