Directions and Parking

The Seattle Historic Waterfront Association is currently offering three free hours of parking at the Pike Place Market Garage when you visit a participating waterfront location, including the Seattle Aquarium!

There are two parking garages and over 800 parking stalls available, accessible parking, and an elevator. The entrance at 1530 Alaskan Way will be closed from November 29, 2021, until spring 2022 (pedestrian access remains open). The available entrances are located at:

• 1531 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98101
• 1901 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98101

Once you've parked, take the southwest elevator or stairs and follow signs for Alaskan Way/waterfront. The Seattle Aquarium is located across Alaskan Way after you exit the garage.

Note: Pathways may change daily due to current construction. Please follow signs and be aware of your surroundings.
