Kraken Games, Concerts and Events at Climate Pledge Arena

How to get to and from Climate Pledge Arena at Seattle Center without fighting traffic and parking.

Climate Pledge Arena is at Seattle Center, at 334 1st Avenue North, next to the Space Needle. It is home to the Seattle Kraken and the Seattle Storm, and it hosts many of the biggest concerts and shows in the city. The arena encourages fans not to drive, because parking nearby is limited and the streets around Seattle Center get very busy before and after events.

Drop-off rules near the arena

Before large events, cars cannot drop off passengers on 1st Avenue North in front of the arena. The common drop-off spots are Republican Street at Warren Avenue North, the MoPOP turnaround, the McCaw Hall drop-off zone on Mercer Street and the Pacific Science Center drop-off zone on Denny Way. Your chauffeur knows these spots and picks the best one for your seats and the traffic that night.

After the game or show

For about 30 minutes after an event, pickups right next to the arena are restricted. We plan your pickup a short walk away, and your chauffeur texts you the exact spot. You walk out, find your car and go home, while others are still waiting.

Concerts and big nights out

Concert nights are perfect for a private ride: dinner in Queen Anne or Belltown, the show, and a safe ride home with no one behind the wheel. Book by the hour so your chauffeur stays with you all evening. Groups ride together in our Sprinter van, which carries up to 14 people.

Tips for Climate Pledge Arena

  • Doors usually open about 90 minutes before a Kraken game. Arrive early for the warm-ups.
  • The arena is cashless. Bring a card or phone wallet.
  • Check the bag policy for your event before you leave.
  • Seattle Center has many restaurants and bars nearby for a pre-game meal.

The service was exceptional and well worth the cost. We were so grateful that Carina was able to accommodate our pick up needs with less than 24 hours notice. It made the transfer to the airport after the cruise seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable.
