Parking
There are several large, and many small, parking lots and
garages within a short walk of the ballpark. Each lot is
operated by independent owners and operators who establish
their own rates and policies. Generally, lots and garages
closer to the ballpark will charge more for parking. Rates
vary up to $25. Major, nearby facilities include:
SAFECO Field Garage:
2000 spaces, located on Atlantic Street at First Avenue.
Call (206) 346-4001 for information. Disabled parking can be
purchased in advance by calling (206) 346-4001 at least 10
business days in advance. Day of game parking, when

and North Lot facilities please call 206-254-0811. Single
game parking for these garages can also be purchased in
advance through Ticketmaster.
There are many parking garages and lots in the central
business district to the north of SAFECO Field that offer
very reasonable evening and weekend parking rates. Garage
entrances are located mostly on east-west streets. Free
Metro bus service is offered as far south as Jackson Street
from these locations.
The Mariners discourage fans from parking on street in the
Pioneer Square and International District neighborhoods
unless they are also patronizing local merchants there. It
is important to read all parking restriction information
posted along streets around the ballpark to avoid being
ticketed or towed away.
Freeways serving the ballpark include I-90, I-5 and SR99.
All of these routes pass within 1/2 mile of the SAFECO
Field. Tip: Avoid the heavy traffic congestion around the
ballpark by exiting freeways early. Exits nearer to the
ballpark become quite congested in the hour prior to a
game. After the game, drive south or north from your
parking location to get onto the freeways at less congested
on-ramps. Check the "Directions" link for additional driving
information.
