TicketsThe 2027 Seattle Marathon Summer Events take place in central Seattle, which has a real regional transit system. The ORCA card (loadable at Link light rail stations, transit stores, and via the ORCA mobile app) covers Link light rail, buses, and the streetcar; as of February 2026, ORCA also supports tap-to-pay directly with contactless Visa/Mastercard/Amex/Discover cards and Apple/Google/Samsung Pay, charging a standard adult fare with a two-hour transfer window, so a dedicated card is often unnecessary for short visits.
