Climate Pledge Arena is taking shape. You might’ve noticed all the construction happening in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Now the folks behind the arena said the end is in sight, with the Seattle Kraken set to play its first home game there in mid-October.
True to its “climate pledge” name, solar panels are installed wherever possible on the arena, including the parking garage.
“I’m very excited — couldn’t be more excited,” said Ken Johnsen, the construction lead behind Climate Pledge Arena.
KIRO 7 got a tour on Monday and saw all the major pieces in place. Crews were putting finishing work on the bowl, such as installing seats.
