Climate Pledge Arena

334 1st Ave N · Seattle, WA

Why you should go…

Climate Pledge Arena sits on the Seattle Center campus and is home to the Seattle Kraken, the Seattle Storm and the Seattle Torrent, plus concerts and other shows. The 2021 rebuild kept the original 1962 roof and window curtain walls from the Century 21 Exposition, now city landmarks. Guided tours can take you to the Climate Pledge Living Wall, the Press Bridge, private suites and locker rooms. The ice is made with captured rainwater.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
