New intranet page helps employees navigate World Cup impacts
It’s almost time for Seattle to host six FIFA World Cup 2026 matches! They will be held at Lumen Field (referred to as Seattle Stadium) between June 15 and July 6. During that time, you should expect substantial impacts to your commute on game days and during World Cup-related community festivities. On game days, there will be street closures and increased pedestrian traffic around King Street Center and other buildings in the downtown campus.
King County has launched a tool to help employees navigate closures and delays related to the World Cup in Seattle. It’s a new one-stop-shop intranet page with a comprehensive collection of links and information called FIFA World Cup 2026 – Employee Resources. The page includes:
- World Cup schedule in Seattle
- Information on work schedules for employees
- Seattle road closures and restrictions map
- King County employee parking
- County vehicle and motor pool parking
- Transportation resources
- King Street Center operational impacts
- Employee safety and security resources
Don’t forget to bookmark this link. You can also access the new page on the King County Employee Intranet homepage, the At the office – Employee Resources page, and the Safety, Security, and Emergency Preparedness homepage. If you have questions about this new tool, please reach out to kcemployees@kingcounty.gov.
