Seattle is implementing extensive road closures and transportation changes for the upcoming FIFA World Cup matches. The SoDo neighborhood, specifically the Pioneer Square area extending to Lumen Field, will become a pedestrian zone on match days to accommodate an estimated 750,000 fans. Vehicle traffic will be prohibited in this zone starting four hours before each match and concluding two hours after.

Expanded services, including Sound Transit Link Light Rail and Sounder trains, will be available from the South Sound, with a new 2 Line route from Bellevue and Redmond serving those east of Lake Washington.
