Game & Concert Transportation in Seattle

Seattle’s largest sports venues sit in two places. Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park are neighbors just south of downtown, and Climate Pledge Arena is at Seattle Center, north of it. Each has its own event-day traffic plan, and those plans change with the size of the crowd.

Lumen Field

Home of the Seattle Seahawks (NFL), Seattle Sounders FC (MLS) and the Seattle Reign (NWSL), at 800 Occidental Ave. S. The WAMU Theater, which hosts concerts and shows, is part of the same complex. The stadium’s passenger drop-off zone is on S Charles St. just west of Occidental Ave., reached from 1st Ave. S. On Seahawks game days, drop-offs there run until kickoff with officers directing traffic. The venue posts current details on its parking and transportation page.

T-Mobile Park

Home of the Seattle Mariners, at 1250 First Avenue South in SODO. I-5, I-90 and SR 99 all have marked exits for the ballpark. The ballpark and Lumen Field share nearby garages and streets, so check both event calendars when you plan.

Climate Pledge Arena

Home of the Seattle Kraken (NHL), the Seattle Storm (WNBA) and the Seattle Torrent (PWHL), and a regular stop for major concerts. The arena’s transportation rules keep rideshare cars from dropping off on 1st Ave. N before events and from picking up there for 45 minutes after. Streets around Seattle Center are busy after a show whatever you ride in, so agree on a meeting point with your chauffeur before you go inside.

Before the event

Work backward from the start time. Allow for traffic toward the venue, the walk from the curb to your gate, and security lines at the door. Your chauffeur plans the approach around event-day closures and brings you to the curb as close to your entrance as the traffic plan allows.

After the event

Everyone leaves at once, and the streets closest to the gates are the slowest to clear. Before you go in, settle on a specific corner or entrance to meet, and keep your phone charged. A meeting point a short walk from the busiest exit is often the quickest way out.

When the game runs long

Extra innings, overtime and encores happen. Ask how waiting time works for your booking when you request a quote, and see Rates & FAQ for how pricing is set.

Dinner before, drinks after

If the night includes a restaurant before the concert or a stop after the game, a simple transfer becomes an open-ended evening. Hourly chauffeur service keeps the same vehicle with you between stops, with no fixed itinerary required.

We dispatch throughout King, Snohomish and Pierce counties, which puts several of the region’s other large venues within reach.

Tacoma Dome

At 2727 East D Street in Tacoma, beside I-5. The venue warns that its parking is very limited and that I-5 exit 133 is generally closed for high-volume events; it directs drivers to exit 135 southbound or exit 134 northbound, both to Portland Avenue. Being dropped at the door avoids the parking question entirely. Leave extra time on I-5 between Seattle and Tacoma, especially on weekday evenings.

White River Amphitheatre

An outdoor amphitheater at 40601 Auburn Enumclaw Road SE in Auburn. The venue sends taxis and rideshare cars through Gate C, following sheriff and parking crew direction, and pickup is at Gate C as well. Ask about the arrangements for a chauffeured vehicle when you book, since venue plans vary by show.

Farther afield

Longer trips can be arranged with advance notice, and most destinations within two hours of Seattle are possible. Call the office with the venue and date.

Count everyone who is riding both ways, then pick the vehicle with room to spare.
