Transit is a great way to travel to T-Mobile Park for Mariners games
Get your travel plans ready. The 2024 season opens with a visit from the Boston Red Sox on March 28. Pack your glove—and maybe a warm coat for the first couple of weeks—but leave your car at home. Getting to T-Mobile Park using transit can be as easy as Julio Rodriguez tracking down a fly ball in centerfield!

In response to customer feedback, this season there will be an extra trip on the *RapidRide D Line and on Route 554* for Mariners games!
If you’re coming from south King County or North Seattle, Link Light Rail is an awesome connection to T-Mobile Park. Metro has routes that will connect you to the light rail stops along the 1 Line.
Relax before the game by riding the West Seattle Water Taxi [ [link removed] ] over to downtown and make the walk, roll or scoot from Pier 50 to T-Mobile.
*For the first homestand of the season, the Water Taxi will have extended service [ [link removed] ] Thursday, Friday and Saturday.*
The Water Taxi is expanding hours to provide post-game service from the Seattle waterfront to Seacrest Dock.
