DOWN TO THE BITE?
PLAN AHEAD
The Groupon Bite of Seattle
®
is located at
Seattle Center in the Uptown neighborhood
(street address is 305 Harrison Street, Seattle,
WA 98109). Allow time to drive to the Center,
park and maneuver through the crowds.

USE METRO SERVICE
It is easy to navigate Seattle’s transit system
with Metro’s Trip Planner, and you can plan
your trip to Seattle Center from anywhere in
the region. For more information about bus

CARPOOL WITH FRIENDS
Seattle Center parking rates during events
range from $15–$20-plus. Invite your family,
friends and neighbors to come along to split
the cost of parking, or visit rideshareonline.
com to find carpool partners. This free
service, managed by the Washington State
Department of Transportation, can help you
locate fellow festivalgoers traveling to Seattle
Center. Parking rates fluctuate with demand.

anticipated. Lower rates are in effect when
overall parking demand is low. For more

RIDE THE MONORAIL
The Seattle Center Monorail departs every
10 minutes and takes riders between Seattle
Center (adjacent to the Space Needle) and
Westlake Center (at Fifth Avenue and Pine
Street). The Monorail operates weekdays from
7:30 a.m.–11 p.m. and weekends from 8:30
a.m.–11 p.m. One-way fares (cash only) are
$2.25 for adults, $1 for children ages 5–12
and $1 for seniors 65 or older; children 4 or

CYCLE TO THE CENTER
If you’re looking for a free way to get to the
Center, consider riding your bike. Seattle
Center is located between two major regional
bike routes; it is accessible from the Myrtle
Edwards Bike Trail (which connects Ballard
to West Seattle and the Duwamish River Trail)
and the Dexter Avenue Bike Trail (which
connects downtown Seattle to Fremont,
Wallingford, Green Lake and the Burke-
Gilman Trail). A new two-way bicycle path is
now open on the north side of Mercer Street
between Dexter Avenue North and Fifth
Avenue North. Seattle Center has bike racks so
you can lock your bike during the festival.

TAKE THE CENTRAL LINK

Seattle Center. For more information, visit
