Seattle Sounders FC vs. Real Salt Lake

Lumen Field is about 14.3 miles from Seatac, about 27 minutes by car in normal traffic; event traffic adds more. Stadium Station and International District/Chinatown Station on the 1 Line are a short walk. You can book a private ride from the airport or your hotel on this page, with the pickup timed for the start and the ride back after.

About 8 minutes in normal traffic, and about 20 minutes from Bellevue. Expect slow streets across downtown and SoDo on game days, and worse when the Mariners, the Kraken or a WAMU Theater show is on the same day.

For a 7:00 pm start, leave Seatac by about 5:45 pm or downtown Seattle by about 6:05 pm. That is the drive plus 45 minutes to get through the gates and find your seat.

Rideshare drop-off is at King St & Occidental Ave S on the north side or Royal Brougham Way & Occidental Ave S on the south side. A passenger drop-off zone at S Charles St & Occidental (entered from 1st Ave S) stays open until kickoff.

After the game, cars pick up at the same two corners, King & Occidental or Royal Brougham & Occidental. Officers reopen the S Charles St passenger zone once the crowd thins.

On Seahawks and Sounders days the North Lot and Lumen Field Garage are for season pass holders only. Other garages nearby are first come, first served and ran $10–$50 a game in 2024. With a private ride there is no parking to pay or find.

The listing gives only the start. Games like this usually run about 1 hour 55 minutes, so expect it to end around 8:55 pm. The ride back is set for then, and you can change it when you book.
