SEAHAWKS and MARINER games by light rail:

here is a great YouTube video that will show, in real time, what it is like to take light rail from Northgate Station to the Mariners at T-Mobile Park or Seahawks at Lumen Field!

If you paste this query into the YouTube search bar you can see a "real time" video of the light rail ride from Northgate Station to the field:
"Riding the Link Light Rail from Northgate to Stadium"

Due to VRBO restraints we cannot paste the internet address into the guidebook.
