Tips and tricks Plan ahead! Gates to each match open three hours to start time. Factor in wait times for stadium screening and increased travel time. Parking at stations will be very limited on match days. We encourage passengers to take connecting bus service, to ride bikes/scooters, or to get dropped off at Link and Sounder stations. Bikes and scooters will not be allowed on Link or Sounder on match days. Use BikeLink services or bike/scooter-sharing services to get to the station. Use our preferred stations guide for the best way to get to Seattle Stadium.

Matthew 6:1-6 NET [1] “Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven. [2] Thus whenever you do charitable giving, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth, they have their reward. [3] But when you do your giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, [4] so that your gift may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. [5] “Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. [6] But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. Verses 1 & 5 are highlighted

screenshot from Google Gemini: Q: Approximately what percentage of the world population lives and drives cars in areas that get to -10°F in the winter? A: It is estimated that roughly 4% to 7% of the world’s population lives in regions where temperatures regularly hit −10°F (−23°C) or lower during the winter. When adjusted for vehicle ownership, the percentage of the global population that specifically drives cars in these conditions is likely between 2% and 3%. Calculating this requires looking at "Cold-Climate Zones" and the car-to-person ratio in those specific areas.
