The Soul of Seattle

Climate Pledge Arena sits within the Seattle Center campus, home of the Space Needle, MoPOP, and Pacific Science Center. The Kraken are Seattle's newest major sports team, and the city has embraced them with enthusiasm. The arena was rebuilt from the historic KeyArena with a stunning modern design that preserved the original 1962 World's Fair roofline. The surrounding Lower Queen Anne neighborhood has excellent bars and restaurants. Games run about 2.5 hours in regulation. Seattle rain is a factor. Bring layers and a rain jacket for the walk to the arena.
