Where should I park if I plan to drive to Seattle Center?
There are several paid lots within a three block radius of Seattle Center. However, bear in mind that these lots fill up by midday and can have high rates. Whenever possible, we recommend taking the bus, your bike or your feet to the Festival.

Where can I find disabled parking?
All lots around Seattle Center have designated disabled parking spots. Check with a parking attendant if all the available spaces are full. You will also find designated spots on 2nd Avenue N in two locations: just north of Mercer Street and just south of Thomas Street.

Which bus should I take to get to Seattle Center?
The following routes go to or near the Seattle Center: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 45, 74 and 82. To plan your trip, visit the Metro Transit Trip Planner.

What if I want to ride my bike?
Good for you! There are bike racks available at every Entrance. Check out some bike routes to the Seattle Center.
