Lumen Field is literally a 5-minute walk from Pioneer Square and 10 minutes from King Street Station (Link Light Rail). This is the most walkable stadium setup of any WC venue. Don't drive. Light rail from the airport is $3 and drops you right in the neighborhood. A light rain jacket is mandatory β€” Seattle in June is mild but mist arrives without warning.
