Getting Around

The smart-money logistics.

Take the Link light rail from SeaTac

The Link 1 Line runs straight from the airport into downtown (Westlake / Symphony stations) in about 40 minutes for a few dollars — bypassing matchday highway traffic entirely.

Skip the rental car

Traffic and parking around Seattle Center and Lumen Field will be heavy with international fans, and downtown parking rates spike. Stay central and walk, ride the Monorail, or take transit.

Stay downtown or near Seattle Center

Both free watch parties — the Pacific Place Soccer House and the Seattle Center celebration — are central and walkable (or a quick Monorail ride) from a downtown base.
