Seattle Mariners fans can bypass weekend traffic and take Sound Transit’s popular game day Sounder train to the 1:10 p.m. Sunday, March 31, game against the Boston Red Sox at T-Mobile Field.
The stadium-bound train from the south will depart Lakewood at 10:16 a.m., arrive in Kent at 11:05 a.m. and get to Seattle at 11:32 a.m. The return train departs King Street Station 35 minutes after the game. One-way fare between Kent and Seattle is $4.
A complete schedule of Sounder service to Mariners games this season is available at soundtransit.org/mariners.
Special Sounder service is in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from T-Mobile Park, formerly Safeco Field. Link runs every 10 minutes on Sunday and serves 16 stations — at the University of Washington, on Capitol Hill, in downtown Seattle, SODO, Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Tukwila, Sea-Tac Airport and Angle Lake. Link’s Stadium and International District stations are a short walk from T-Mobile Park.
Many ST Express and King County Metro buses also drop off passengers near the stadium. Link and ST Express bus schedules are available at soundtransit.org/schedule. King County Metro bus schedules can be found at metro.kingcounty.gov/schedules/.
Regular fares apply for all Sound Transit services. Rail riders can avoid the post-game ticket vending machine lines by purchasing a Day Pass at their originating station. One-way tickets and Day Passes can also be purchased with the Transit GO Ticket app.
Getting an ORCA card is a great way to skip lines at ticket vending machines. Cards only cost $5 for adults, plus whatever amount a rider chooses to load in the card’s E-purse or the cost of a pass that is good for unlimited transit trips. ORCA works on trains, buses and ferries throughout the region. More information is available at orcacard.com.
