Lumen Field / T-Mobile Park: use official lots — street is SODO restricted
Verified sourceWatchVerified 45d ago
What the rule says
Seattle on-street meters follow posted paid-parking hours (often 8am–8pm or 10pm in the core). SODO around Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park is a mix of industrial no-parking, event lots, and paid garages ($20-$60 typical). Official Lumen garage/North Lot open 6am event days, close 2 hours after. Do not assume a SODO curb is a downtown-style meter on Seahawks/Mariners night. Enforcement: Event lots + posted SODO restrictions. Rate: Official lots event-priced.
