Climate Pledge Arena

• Driving & Parking
  Use the Mercer Street exit from I-5, though taking the Stewart Street exit or arriving via Highway 99 to Harrison Street can help bypass the heaviest event-day congestion. For parking, the Arena Underground Garage and the 1st Ave N Garage provide the most direct access with dedicated ADA stalls and EV charging, while the Mercer Street and 5th Ave N Garages offer additional campus-wide availability. Nearby surface lots fill quickly, fans are strongly encouraged to pre-book a guaranteed spot through the arena’s official app or services like ParkWhiz.
