Angel of the Winds Arena (Home of the Everett Silvertips (WHL))
Get your hockey fans or tournament rosters to Angel of the Winds Arena without circling downtown blocks for parking! Located right in the heart of Downtown Everett, this 10,000-seat multi-purpose venue hosts loud Everett Silvertips WHL matchups, ice shows, and regional high school basketball championships. When you book network, your whole group steps off right near the main concourse together and skips the cold post-game walk!
Major Roadways to Angel of the Winds Arena
Drivers approaching Downtown Everett from I-5 should take Exit 192 onto Broadway or Exit 193 onto Pacific Avenue, then head west toward the arena. Local connectors like Hewitt Avenue, Wall Street, and Oakes Avenue frame the arena perimeter for straightforward bus access.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Angel of the Winds Arena
Your charter bus can load and unload passengers along the designated curbside zones on Wall Street or Oakes Avenue, just steps from the main corner entrance at Hewitt and Oakes. Because downtown curb zones allow active loading only, have your group gathered inside the lobby before calling your driver for post-game pickup. Visiting athletic teams can coordinate rear loading dock access along Wall Street in advance through arena event management.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Angel of the Winds Arena
The nearby EverPark Garage has a strict 6’6” height clearance and cannot accommodate minibuses or full-size motorcoaches. Instead, oversized vehicles must relocate after drop-off to pre-arranged surface lots near Everett Station or industrial staging areas east of Broadway. Contact arena guest services at (425) 322-2600 ahead of your event to confirm oversized surface lot availability.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
During sold-out Silvertips games and major concerts, sections of Oakes Avenue and Hewitt Avenue immediately bordering the arena may close to through traffic up to 90 minutes before puck drop. Heavy commuter traffic on I-5 combined with Boeing shift changes and Naval Station Everett traffic can slow evening arrivals. We recommend scheduling your downtown Everett drop-off at least 60 to 90 minutes before the event starts. Your confirmation team will verify your exact meeting corner after you book online!
Funko Field at Everett Memorial Stadium (Home of the Everett AquaSox (MiLB))
Moving a Little League team, youth group, or company outing to Funko Field at Everett Memorial Stadium is a breeze in a private bus! Shared with the Everett School District for football and soccer, this beloved ballpark is home to the High-A Everett AquaSox. Rent a 25-passenger minibus or full-size coach so everyone rides together!
Major Roadways to Funko Field at Everett Memorial Stadium
From I-5 Northbound, take Exit 192 directly onto Broadway, which leads straight to the stadium complex in less than a mile. Groups traveling on I-5 Southbound can take Exit 192 for 41st Street, turn right, and connect onto Broadway heading north. Your driver will monitor live Snohomish County traffic to pick the fastest approach!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Funko Field at Everett Memorial Stadium
Passenger drop-off and pickup for AquaSox games and school district athletics take place in the main stadium parking lot accessed via the 39th Street or Broadway entrances. Buses can pull up near the North Gate (by the iconic Everett AquaSox frog statue) or the South Gate ticket booths for quick, level unloading. Make sure your passengers have their tickets ready and step off promptly so your driver doesn't block the main turnstile drive lanes. After the final inning, gather your group at the same gate before texting your driver to pull forward.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Funko Field at Everett Memorial Stadium
Unlike cramped downtown arenas, the Everett Memorial Stadium Complex features expansive surface parking lots on the north and south sides of the venue that can accommodate oversized buses. On busy firework nights or doubleheaders when the main stadium lots fill up, drivers can stage at pre-approved Everett School District overflow areas or nearby Everett Station. Please note that stadium parking fees (typically $5 to $10, or oversized rates by event) are paid separately on-site.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
While full street closures around Funko Field are rare, the intersection of Broadway and 39th Street gets heavily congested 45 minutes before first pitch and right after post-game fireworks. Arriving an hour early gives your group plenty of time to grab ballpark snacks and find seats without waiting in traffic.
Lumen Field (Home of the Seattle Seahawks (NFL) and Seattle Sounders FC (MLS))
Browse tons of bus types on Charter
Major Roadways to Lumen Field
Groups departing Everett will travel south on I-5 for roughly 28 miles and take Exit 164A Toward Dearborn Street or 4th Avenue South into the SoDo stadium district. I-90 West and SR 99 (Alaskan Way Viaduct tunnel) also feed directly into the south stadium area via 1st Avenue South and Edgar Martinez Drive South. Because the I-5 Express Lanes reverse direction on weekends, your driver will check WSDOT schedules to cut down travel time.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Lumen Field
Charter buses drop off and pick up passengers along South Royal Brougham Way or South Charles Street (just west of Occidental Avenue South, accessed via 1st Avenue South across from the Pro Shop). ADA-accessible drop-off is located at the corner of 1st Avenue South and South Charles Street.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Lumen Field
On-site charter bus parking in the Lumen Field North Lot and Lumen Field Parking Garage is extremely limited and must be reserved well in advance by emailing parking@seahawksfgi.com or calling (206) 381-7100. If stadium lots are sold out, drivers relocate to commercial staging areas along Utah Avenue South or industrial SoDo surface lots until your group calls for pickup.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Seattle Police close Occidental Avenue South entirely for pedestrian plazas on game days, and heavy restrictions apply along South Royal Brougham Way and 1st Avenue South two hours before kickoff. Expect major I-5 southbound slowdowns starting at Northgate and the Ship Canal Bridge on Sunday mornings and concert nights. We recommend departing Everett at least 3 to 3.5 hours before kickoff so your group can enjoy Touchdown City and clear clear-bag security without rushing. After the final whistle, gather your whole roster before texting your driver so you don't get stuck in the 5-minute idle limit zone!
T-Mobile Park (Home of the Seattle Mariners (MLB))
One quick online search connects your Everett baseball fans with comfortable minibuses and charter buses headed to T-Mobile Park! Located right next door to Lumen Field in SoDo, the retractable-roof home of the Seattle Mariners hosts 81 regular-season home games plus massive summer stadium concerts. Skip the expensive rideshare surge pricing and ride back to Snohomish County together in climate-controlled comfort!
Major Roadways to T-Mobile Park
Traveling south from Everett on I-5, drivers take Exit 163A for Columbian Way / 6th Avenue South or Exit 164A for 4th Avenue South, then turn west onto Edgar Martinez Drive South. Groups coming via SR 99 South can take the Atlantic Street exit right at the south end of the waterfront tunnel. 1st Avenue South and 4th Avenue South act as the primary north-south corridors framing the ballpark.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at T-Mobile Park
Designated charter bus loading and unloading zones are located along Edgar Martinez Drive South on the south side of the ballpark and along Occidental Avenue South or Railroad Way South on the north side. Have your group exit quickly on the curb side so your driver can clear the active traffic lane. After the final out, meet your group near the Home Plate Gate at 1st Avenue South and Edgar Martinez Drive before signaling your bus to pull up.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at T-Mobile Park
Reserved oversized bus parking is available in the Mariners Garage (on Edgar Martinez Drive S) or designated surface lots, but you must call the Mariners parking office at (206) 346-4001 at least 10 business days before your game to lock in a permit. Without a pre-paid pass, drivers stage off-site in commercial lots south of South Lander Street.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Mariners game days, Occidental Avenue South north of the stadium is closed to vehicle traffic, and post-game traffic on Edgar Martinez Drive South and Dave Niehaus Way is directed one-way toward I-5 and I-90 by Seattle Police. When afternoon Mariners games overlap with weekday rush hour or an event at Lumen Field, add an extra 45 minutes to your departure from Everett.
Climate Pledge Arena (Home of the Seattle Kraken (NHL) and Seattle Storm (WNBA))
Start your trip to Climate Pledge Arena at Seattle Center with a custom bus rental from Charter
Major Roadways to Climate Pledge Arena
Heading south from Everett on I-5, drivers take Exit 167 for Mercer Street / Seattle Center and follow Mercer Street west toward Lower Queen Anne (Uptown). SR 99 (Aurora Avenue North) also provides direct access via the Harrison Street or Denny Way exits. Around the Seattle Center perimeter, buses use Mercer Street, 1st Avenue North, Warren Avenue North, and Denny Way.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Climate Pledge Arena
Buses can unload and pick up passengers at designated Seattle Center charter bus zones along 1st Avenue North (between John Street and Thomas Street right outside the west entrance), Warren Avenue North near Republican Street, or Mercer Street outside McCaw Hall. Active loading is strictly limited to 15 minutes, so make sure your whole group is assembled outside before calling your driver after the horn sounds.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Climate Pledge Arena
The underground Climate Pledge Arena garage (1st Ave N) and Mercer Street Garage have low vertical clearances and cannot fit charter buses or high-roof minibuses. Short-term 3-hour tour bus parking spots are marked along 4th Avenue North by the Seattle Opera Center, and overflow bus staging is available at commercial lots near Interbay or SoDo. Always confirm event-night staging with Seattle Center transportation staff at (206) 684-7200.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
The Mercer Street corridor between I-5 and 1st Avenue North—often called the “Mercer Mess”—is one of the slowest bottlenecks in the Pacific Northwest, especially between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weeknights. During Kraken games and major festivals like Bumbershoot, sections of 1st Avenue North and Thomas Street close for pedestrian crowd control. Plan to leave Everett at least 2.5 hours before puck drop or tip-off so your driver can navigate Mercer Street and get your group inside in time for warmups!
