NOTE:  Access to the West Entrance is available through the Otter and Penguin parking lots. The Otter parking lot can be accessed through the Penguin lot on Phinney Ave N., or the Bear parking lot on N. 59th Street. 

If you choose to park in the surrounding neighborhoods, please follow Seattle parking laws and leave 5′ on either side of driveways. Please be courteous to our neighbors after the concert by keeping noise to a minimum. And most importantly, if you block someone’s driveway, you will be towed.

*Additional parking is located in Lower Woodland Park at N. 50th and Aurora Ave. N. about .1 mile from the South Entrance.
