This event is free and open to the pub­lic. Tick­ets are not required, but RSVPs are strong­ly encour­aged. Admis­sion is first come, first served.

For secu­ri­ty rea­sons, please do not bring bags and lim­it what you bring to small, per­son­al items like keys and cell phones.

You may RSVP for the Safe­co Field ral­ly here.

As the cam­paign notes, Safe­co Field is well served by tran­sit. Take advan­tage of Sound Tran­sit’s Link light rail or Sounder com­muter rail to get to this ral­ly. Or make use of a Metro or Sound Tran­sit route that serves the Inter­na­tion­al Dis­trict. (For exam­ple, the 550 con­nects Belle­vue to down­town Seat­tle using bus ramps that allow the bus­es to dri­ve direct­ly off the express­way into the Tran­sit Tunnel.)

NPI will offer live cov­er­age of the ral­ly on Fri­day evening.

Be aware that that the Secret Ser­vice and law enforce­ment have had dif­fi­cul­ty effec­tive­ly and effi­cient­ly mov­ing peo­ple through secu­ri­ty check­points at recent local events for Hillary Clin­ton and Bernie Sanders. If you want to be assured of get­ting in and get­ting a good seat, arrive ear­ly and be pre­pared to wait a while.

A few tips:

• Dress in lay­ers so you’ll be com­fort­able no mat­ter the weather.
• Trav­el light. Don’t bring a lot of gear. It’ll slow you down.
• Bring a paper­back nov­el to read.
• Go with friends so you’ll have com­pa­ny to talk to while wait­ing in line.
• Hydrate before show­ing up to wait in line at Safeco.
• Load up some tunes or pod­casts on your smart­phone or music play­er to lis­ten to while you’re wait­ing to get in.

If you’d rather not fight the crowds, you can fol­low along with us here on the Cas­ca­dia Advo­cate and on In Brief, as well as watch a livestream.
