When baseball season hits Seattle, the energy around T-Mobile Park is electric. Whether you're in it for the crack of the bat, the absolutely killer selection of stadium food, or just the excuse to wear navy and teal, catching a Mariners game is one of the most iconic things to do when visiting the Puget Sound. Make a whole weekend out of it, and let Bellevue be your calm, cool, and collected home base.

Mariners 2025 Season Overview

The Seattle Mariners' 2025 regular season began on March 27 and will run through September 28, featuring 162 games, including 81 home games at T-Mobile Park. 

Upcoming Themed Nights & Giveaways at T-Mobile Park

Catching a Mariners game is all about the experience. Known for its lineup of themed nights, regular games turn into celebrations with special giveaways. From DC Comics Night and Anime Night to Aloha Shirt Day and Ichiro Number Retirement Ceremony Night, there's often something extra for fandoms of all kinds - like a Hello Kitty bobblehead or a sweet jersey. You can get those promotional tickets online, so secure your tickets early because they sell out fast. 

Fireworks Nights: Baseball + Skyline Magic

On select Fridays throughout the season, T-Mobile Park is lighting up the Seattle skyline with post-game fireworks presented by T-Mobile. It's the perfect punctuation mark to an evening of hot dogs, home runs, and good vibes. 

Where to Stay for Mariners Game Day

You're headed to T-Mobile Park for all the action, but where you stay sets the tone for your whole getaway experience. Bellevue brings the calm, the comfort, and the world-class hospitality. You're just across the lake, around 20–30 minutes from T-Mobile Park by car or public transit. Getting to the game is no sweat, and when it’s over, you’re cruising away from the post-game gridlock. From the InterContinental Seattle Bellevue and W Bellevue to the Hyatt Regency Bellevue and AC Hotel, there are so many hotels to choose from! You'll be steps away from hidden cocktail bars, globally inspired brunch, endless shopping, and desserts that double as art - all walkable, all very vibey. 

Pro Tip: Flying in from SEA Airport? Take the Bellevue Airport Shuttle for $35. 

Getting to T-Mobile Park from Bellevue

T-Mobile Park is just a short trip from downtown Bellevue. It's about 30 minutes by car, and there are always ample rideshare options available. You can also make it there by bus, and Sound Transit's Route 550 is an express bus that provides direct connection to downtown Seattle - get off at International District/ Chinatown Station, which is within walking distance of the stadium. Use Choose Your Way Bellevue for more information. Pro tip: aim to arrive early for batting practice and to beat the lines at the garlic fries stand.

Pre-Game Eats in Bellevue

Start your game day strong with a good meal. Grab bold bites and a solid margarita at Cantina Monarca, or fuel up with a specialty pour at Third Culture Coffee, a local favorite. If you're looking for something cozy and community-driven, Bellden Café is always a win. And for a sit-down brunch with serious flavor, Monsoon delivers modern Vietnamese dishes with cocktails that hit just right. Want options? Explore The Bellevue Collection's Dining District for everything from grab-and-go to full-on pregame feasts - like Legion Sports Bar.

Make a Weekend Out of It

Why rush home? Turn your Mariners outing into a full-on weekend escape by cruising across Lake Washington, wandering through the Bellevue Botanical Garden and snapping some signature northwest photos at the suspension bridge, and getting in some serious retail therapy at The Bellevue Collection or The Shops at The Bravern. You can kayak along the shoreline for a fresh perspective of the city, or tackle the ropes and zip lines at Bellevue Adventures' Adventure Course for a little adrenaline. Get your VR game on at MIRRA, an all new entertainment venue. Cap it all off with a wine tasting trip to nearby Woodinville Wine Country, go troll hunting and discover the Northwest Trolls hidden in the region's parks and forests—or take a scenic Twin Peaks driving tour through nearby Snoqualmie and North Bend for a little eerie, cult-classic nostalgia. With a fine selection of nightlife experiences to boot, Bellevue weekends are anything but boring. 

Final Pitch

Mariners game days always bring the energy, and Bellevue is where the experience really begins to level up. Whether you're visiting from out of town or just want a smoother, more elevated game day vibe, this is where it all clicks: rest, recharge, and make it more than just a ballgame.
