Getting to Climate Pledge Arena
Seattle Kraken · Seattle, WA
Climate Pledge Arena does something no other venue in this data does: every ticket is a transit pass. Ticket holders ride King County buses and light rail free from two hours before an event to two hours after, and the Seattle Center Monorail covers the last leg from downtown in 90 seconds.
Tips & Fan Reports
The Monorail is a 90-second ride from downtown and takes ORCA or contactless.
Allow about 40 minutes from SEA on I-5 without heavy traffic.
Your match ticket is a free King County transit pass, good from two hours before to two hours after — no separate fare at all.
The Arena Garage has underground access and EV charging; pre-purchase through the Kraken app.
From the airport it is the Airport Line to Westlake, then the Monorail — no car needed.
