The Mariners Garage is cashless — bring a credit card, debit card, or mobile payment. If you only have cash, kiosks inside the ballpark can convert it to a prepaid debit card.
For a faster post-game exit, consider parking at Union Station Garage South or in the International District near Uwajimaya. Both areas offer quicker access to I-5 and surface streets compared to lots directly south of the ballpark.
Skipping the car entirely is a solid option. Link Light Rail drops you steps from the stadium, and transit riders avoid parking fees and post-game traffic altogether.
