Uptown / Seattle Center · Seattle, WA · 334 1st Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109
Seattle Center's modern, LEED-certified sustainability-focused arena, home to the Kraken and Storm, which also hosts the city's biggest electronic-live and mainstage EDM touring shows when they need arena capacity. Known for its striking preserved-roof architecture, plant wall, and heavy investment in green operations, alongside genuinely large-scale production values for concerts.
Getting there
Parking
Three garages serve the arena; the 1st Ave N Garage (1 block south) and the arena-operated underground Arena Garage are the most accessible, the latter with EV charging.
Transit
Served by the Seattle Center Monorail (90 seconds from downtown) and King County Metro routes 1, 2, 8, 13, 32, and RapidRide D; every ticketed event includes a free transit pass.
Accessibility
Fully ADA accessible with wheelchair seating throughout; the West entrance is the most convenient accessible drop-off point.
What ravers say
Reviewers consistently praise the modern amenities, sustainability features, cleanliness, and strong acoustics/production for concerts, but a recurring complaint is uncomfortable, cheap-feeling folding chairs in floor seating and open drug/smoke use in some sections during shows.
