Drop-off, pickup and traffic
- Drop-off
- There is no drop-off on 1st Ave N. Cars drop off at Republican St & Warren Ave N, the MoPOP turnaround, the McCaw Hall lane on Mercer St or the Pacific Science Center zone on Denny Way.
- Pickup after
- Pickups next to the arena pause for 30 to 45 minutes after events, so expect a short walk. The arena points to MoPOP and the Space Needle on Broad St, and Seattle Center to Thomas St & Taylor Ave N. Set the exact spot with your driver.
- Traffic
- Most cars arrive by the Mercer St and Stewart St exits off I-5, which back up before and after events. Leaving by SR 99 or Elliott Ave usually beats the Mercer queue.
- Transit
- Your ticket includes a free King County transit pass from two hours before doors to two hours after the event.
Zones can change for big events. Check the venue's website on the day.
