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 available, is $20.  Charter bus parking is available by reservation only, call 346-4001.

Stadium Exhibition Center Garage:  2000 spaces, located on Royal Brougham Way west of Fourth Avenue also has charter bus parking on space available basis.

Union Station Garage:  1200 spaces, Fourth Avenue south of Jackson Street.

North lot (old Kingdome):  400 spaces featuring RV parking, located on King Street at Second Avenue.

Republic Parking:  300 spaces located on South Jackson.

HP Parking:  300 spaces located at First and Atlantic.

For information about parking at the Stadium Exhibition Center (www.stadiumexcenter.com), Union Station (www.seattlepark.com) 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.
