By Bike
Thanks to Seattle Department of Transportation and the advocacy of our patrons, the city has installed a bank of bike racks on the North side of Town Hall, outside the Seneca Street entrance. There is also a small bike rack under the portico at the South end of the Eighth Avenue entrance.
Please be aware that while many people park their bicycles there during events, there is always a risk when leaving bikes in our urban neighborhood, especially at night. Town Hall isn’t responsible for unattended bicycles.
