The 2025 Seattle Seahawks are ready to take flight! Sam Darnold is set to throw darts; Leonard Williams is planning on collecting a sack or 10 and Coach Mike McDonald is anxious to unleash a wave that will overwhelm those who dare to go onto the Lumen Field turf!

The Hawks will celebrate 50 years of football with games against the Saints, Bucs, Colts and of course that football team from San Francisco. Take that energy you’ll use driving and parking and save it to cause an illegal motion or two. Leave it to Metro to get you to and from the game: our buses are faster than Kenneth Walker in the open field!

Riding to Lumen

We’ve got a page that is your one-stop shop on taking transit to Lumen.

Start your game day by planning your trip to the game by using Trip Planner  and Text for Departures  (text your bus stop number to 62550)

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

Coming over from the Eastside? In partnership with Sound Transit, there are three routes (Sound Transit Routes 545, 550 and 554) that will provide additional post-game service to the Eastside.

We also have a map that can help ensure you “escape the rush” as you make your way into Pioneer Square for kickoff.

Seahawks Sailgate Party

If you’re coming from West Seattle, you can be part of the Sailgate celebration by riding the King County Water Taxi from West Seattle to downtown and walk, roll or scoot from Pier 50 to the stadium. How much does it cost to travel by Water Taxi? Adult fare is $6.25 one way ($5.25 with an ORCA card), with the bus ride back costing $3.00.

Getting home after the game? Remember, Water Taxi service ends at 7 p.m., but you can stroll to Alaskan Way S. at S. Jackson St. and catch a bus back to West Seattle with RapidRide—the C and H Lines—routes as smooth as Jaxson Smith-Njigba!

How to pay 

You don’t want to miss seeing the “12 Flag” raised, so be sure to use your ORCA Card to help board quickly. Don’t have an ORCA Card yet? Download the Transit Go App on your mobile device for express boarding.  Remember, Hawks fans 18 and younger ride to the game for free.

Don’t get caught with a “Delay of Game.” BE TRUE TO THE BLUE and take Metro to root on the Hawks!!
