Let’s ride two! Water Taxi and buses are a great double play to get to T-Mobile Park

The crack of the bat, the thud of the glove, and the shout of “PLAY BALL!!”

The drought is done, and it’s time for some Seattle Mariners baseball.

The 2023 edition of the M’s take the field for their home opener on March 30. For those coming to T-Mobile Park from Burien, and West Seattle, don’t forget the Water Taxi and King County Metro are a double play that can only be matched by JP Crawford and Kelton Wong!

T-Mobile Park is a walk, roll or scoot after you get off the Water Taxi–and you can go to Alaskan Way S. to take the bus home after the game!

If you’re coming from south King County, Link light rail is your best connection to T-Mobile. If you can’t float to the ballpark, Metro buses are a great way to get to the game!

Relax before the game by riding the Water Taxi from West Seattle over to downtown and make the walk, roll or scoot from Pier 50 to T-Mobile

Missed that last Water Taxi to Seattle? Metro route 21 will bring you to the Southwest entrance of T-Mobile, right across the street from the statue of “The Kid.”

Coming to the ballpark from Burien? Jump on the new RapidRide H Line from the Burien Transit Center and get off on Alaskan Way S. A fan coming from South Park and Georgetown? Plan your trip to the game by using Trip Planner  and Text for Departures  (text your bus stop number to 62550)

Post-Game trip home?  Remember, Water Taxi service ends at 7:00 p.m., but don’t worry, after the game, take a stroll back to Alaskan Way S. at S. Jackson St. and catch a bus back to West Seattle, with RapidRide (the C and H Lines) moving you faster than Julio Rodriguez! (OK, maybe not that fast)

Get your travel plans ready. This season will include the annual visits from the Yankees, Red Sox and the (ugh!) World Series Champs Astros. On top of the regular season, this summer Seattle welcomes the baseball world to Puget Sound as the host of MLB All-Star Game, baseball’s mid-summer classic! 

How much does it cost to travel by Water Taxi? Adult fare is $5.75 one way ($5 with an ORCA card), with the bus ride back costing $2.75. Don’t have an ORCA Card yet, download the TransitGoTicket App on your mobile device for express boarding. Don’t forget, all M’s fans 18 and under ride the Water Taxi and buses for free!

Pack your glove, peanuts, Cracker Jack and sunflower seeds and head down to Seacrest Dock. We look forward to bringing you to all the excitement of Mariners Baseball this season!!
