A couple of posts in my previous Seattle Supercross thread just disappeared, which is very unfortunate because it gave detailed instructions on where to park and the public transportation to use to the stadium tomorrow. I’ll be coming from Coeur d’Alene which is east of Seattle. We can stay at any hotel that night (outside of seattle I would imagine)
that’s not an issue, everyone has just been stating to use public transportation which seems super sketchy but apparently it’s not if everyone says to use it.

I’ve been to Seattle like once so any help on the best way to get to the stadium would be awesome.

When I went a few years ago I just uber'd my way around. Stayed about 10-15 miles from the stadium as I didn't want to be downtown anywhere, and didn't want a DUI. That uber shit can get expensive in Seattle, especially on a Saturday night with a big event. But, its safe (relatively I guess). Can just cost a pretty penny by the end of the night.

I think the Light Rail that everyone was suggesting is going to be a lot less sketchy than parking your vehicle anywhere near the stadium.

Seattle public transportation is very easy and I've never had any issue with it feeling sketchy. I'm sure that there have been incidents at times, but it's probably less of an issue than the standard road rage before and after events.

I'd recommend staying somewhere close to the Light Rail line as it has a stop in Pioneer Square just a little ways from Lumen Field. Here is the schedule I'd look for. If you zoom in you can see where the stops are and the route. I'd just look for a hotel that is somewhere on the route and then take the train in to the event.

Yeah the light rail is pretty mellow. Most of the bums don't really want anything to do with you. Just make sure you fill up a big gulp with 4loko for the ride back to the hotel.

Anyone need a room just for tonight?
$160, 2 queens.

I've stayed at King's Inn for the past few years. You can park your vehicle there and walk to the stadium.

I usually park at the spot in the top right of the photo. Walk over the bridge towards the stadium and it takes you straight into the area. Kirkland or Bellevue have some nice hotels to stay at if you’re looking for a close place. Also Renton landing has the Hyatt hotel which is on the lake and a cheaper hotel across the street next to coulon park which is a pretty cool spot.

We're from your neck of the woods and are driving over to Seattle tomorrow. If you'd like to park and take the train with my wife, son and myself then you are more than welcome to join us. We're staying down by Seatac, so we'll jump on whatever station is closest to the hotel. I can't deal with the stress of driving over there and no way am I paying $40-50 to park, so the train it is.

I usually take an Uber to a Hotel in downtown and walk to the stadium (1.5 - 2 miles). Uber is $40 - 65 depending on the time of day. Usually a little less on Sunday morn/back to SeaTac.

A couple of years I sent a motorhome to the race/in the pits. Didn't have any problems at all. But, that was back in '07 thru '10. Downtown has gotten quite a bit crappier since then.

I usually try to get there early and park behind pyramid brewery. Eat and drink there before the race, which is a lot cheaper.

Whoever mentioned the Light Rail out of Tukwila, thank you. I'm visiting my daughter and decided to give it a try. It was a very nice facility. Easy tickets (only $6 all day ticket). Free parking. The rail cars were clean. No issues with anybody. Was a nice 40 minute ride. Once at the Industrial District stop we got off and it was about a 10 minute walk. No issues. Same on the return trip.

Met my old friend from years back there and he paid $60 to park in the stadium. We bought 300 level tickets at the stadium for $20 each. They were surprisingly really good viewing seats. So if you can get away with not buying food or drinks there it would have been only $26 a piece for a whole day of moto. How can you beat that?

So thanks again for the great info.
