Climate Pledge Arena is a transformational project. It is the most significant private investment ever made in Pacific Northwest sports and entertainment history. In partnership, Oak View Group, the Seattle Kraken, and the City of Seattle set out to reimagine and redevelop an arena constructed under an historic landmarked roof originally built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.
Opened on October 19, 2021, Climate Pledge Arena, located at Seattle Center, is home to the NHL Seattle Kraken, the WNBA Seattle Storm and the world’s biggest performers of live music and events.
Climate Pledge Arena serves as a long-lasting and regular reminder for the urgent need for climate action. The Climate Pledge, which was founded by Amazon and Global Optimism in 2019, is a commitment from companies globally to be net zero carbon by 2040.
Climate Pledge Arena acknowledges that we are on the homelands of the Coast Salish peoples, who continue to steward these lands and waters as they have since time immemorial. We recognize Washington’s tribal nations and Native organizations, who actively create, shape and contribute to our thriving communities.
Climate Pledge Arena is committed to doing our part to engage with, and amplify the voices of, Native peoples and tribes.
