Its tentacles were seen all over the city. After a summer nap, the octopus is ready to be unleashed! It’s hockey season, be sure to grab a warm coat, your hat and don’t forget your Seattle Kraken ticket, which is also your pass for transit to Climate Pledge Arena.

Stanley Cup-winning coach Dan Bylsma and newcomers Brandon Montour and Chandler Stephenson join Kraken veterans Matty Beniers, Vince Dunn and goaltender Philipp Grubauer this season.

Climate Pledge is the place to be, not behind the wheel! Your ticket to the game is still a free ride to the Seattle Center.

Ticket holders, both season ticket holders and single-game tickets, can access Transit GO Tickets to ride public transit through the Seattle Kraken app. Passes can be used throughout your trip – on buses, light rail, water taxi, Seattle Center Monorail and other public transportation. Don’t forget, your ticket to ANY public event at Climate Pledge Arena is now a free public transit ticket.

Tips for a smooth trip to Seattle Center this season

Plan your trip in advance. Visit Trip Planner or use a third-party app like One Bus Away or Google Maps (in public transit mode). Another way to find the best routes is to call Metro customer service at 206-553-3000 (press 1 to call an interpreter) weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
