The road to the Super Bowl goes through Lumen Field!

The Seahawks hold home field advantage throughout the playoffs, starting with a pivotal third game against the San Francisco 49ers Saturday night, Jan. 17. Bring your energy to make life miserable for Brock Purdy but leave your car at home. Let Metro get you to the game!

You don’t want traffic headaches—give those to the Niners

In addition to not worrying about driving and parking, remember, the Revive I-5 construction project is underway, meaning heavy traffic on Interstate 5 north and south of the Ship Canal Bridge. All the 12s know that taking transit, especially buses connecting to Sound Transit Link 1 Line service, means fewer brake lights, traffic and parking headaches for you!

Lucky Cap, “12” T-Shirt, Trip Planner

Get ready for Saturday night by planning your trip to the game using Trip Planner and once you are at your bus stop use Text for Departures  (text your bus stop number to 62550) to see when your bus is expected.

And, it’s free and easy to sign up for email or text alerts about King County Metro service. They can be tailored to your favorite route(s).

If you’re coming north or south, Metro and Link light rail are a combo equal to Darnold to JSN! We have buses that’ll take you to the light rail stops along Line 1—from Lynnwood to Federal Way.

Sound Transit will also have special Sounder train service for the game!

Coming over from the Eastside? In partnership with Sound Transit, there are three routes (Sound Transit Routes 545, 550 and 554) that will have additional trips to help get you back home again.

If you’re taking the First Hill Streetcar be aware as crowds get heavy near Lumen, its last stop will be at Fifth and Jackson, not at Occidental Avenue.

We also have a travel map that can help ensure you won’t get “sacked” as you make your way into Pioneer Square:

More water taxi service lets you “sailgate” from West Seattle

Join the party from West Seattle using the King County Water Taxi to get to the game.  

Walk, roll or scoot from Pier 50 to the stadium. After the game, there will be special post-game sailings from Pier 50 to the Seacrest Dock at 8:30 p.m., 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Then you can take the free shuttle from Seacrest to the West Seattle Junction (Route 773) or ride along Alki (Route 775)

And don’t forget, if you want to take your time after the game, you can get back to West Seattle by strolling to Alaskan Way South at South Jackson St. and ride the RapidRide C or H Lines.

IT’S PLAYOFF TIME!! Be true to the blue and take Metro to root on the Hawks!
