Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion

3870 Montlake Blvd NE

Seattle, WA 98195

Located on the University of Washington campus in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood, the arena sits close to campus green spaces and waterways, with convenient access from major city corridors.

• Parking: Multiple campus lots and garages are nearby — including E1, E8, and E12 — with event rates typically ranging from $10–$20. Arrive early for the best availability and to minimize your walk.
• Public Transit: Served by King County Metro bus routes; the University of Washington light rail station is within walking distance.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available along Montlake Blvd NE near the arena.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes prior to tip-off, first serve, or showtime. Early arrival helps you secure parking in E1, E8, E12, and other nearby lots, breeze through entry, and settle in before the pre-game warmups or opening act. If you’re using transit, this buffer also gives you time to walk from the UW light rail station without rushing.

While events are indoors, Seattle weather can be rainy — especially on the short campus walk from parking or transit. A light waterproof layer and comfortable shoes go a long way, especially when navigating outdoor campus paths before you reach the concourse.

Campus terrain is generally flat, but foot traffic can be heavy before marquee games and major concerts. Build in a few extra minutes if you’re meeting a group, picking up concessions, or browsing merchandise, and expect cell networks to be busy right before game time at high-attendance events.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s bowl-style layout makes it straightforward to find your bearings: lower-bowl sections wrap the floor for close-in views, while upper-level seating offers a clear vantage of the entire court or stage. Elevators and ramps assist with vertical movement, and concourses connect concessions, restrooms, and merchandise stands throughout.

You’ll find multiple concession stands offering arena classics like hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and pizza, plus local craft beer, regional snacks, and vegetarian/vegan options. Family restrooms, ATMs, and water refill stations support a smooth visit, while official Huskies team stores and kiosks stock game-day apparel and souvenirs. Keep an eye out for Husky Hall of Fame displays and historical exhibits, great for a quick stroll during halftime or intermission.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bag policy in effect — bags must be clear plastic and no larger than 12"x6"x12". Small clutch bags are permitted.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras, umbrellas, noisemakers, and balloons.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Only trained service animals are permitted.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• If driving, review UW campus parking options (E1, E8, E12) and arrive early for the best spots.
• Expect a short outdoor walk; pack a light rain jacket or umbrella for before/after the event (umbrellas are not permitted inside).

Pre-Event Planning

Make time to explore the University of Washington campus before your event. The Montlake setting offers scenic strolls, and in spring, the cherry blossoms on campus are a standout pre-show experience. If you’re with a group, choose a meeting point outside the main entrance or near a landmark on Montlake Blvd NE to streamline your arrival.

Inside, browse the Husky Hall of Fame displays and historical exhibits for a quick dose of UW athletics history. It’s a smart way to keep your group engaged if you arrive early, and it adds context to the energy you’ll feel once the lights dim and the game or concert begins.

Hungry before you head in? With several popular restaurants in the University District and University Village nearby, it’s easy to coordinate a pre-event meal. Leave a few minutes for the walk back or rideshare pickup so you’re in your seats for the opening tip or first song.
