For more information you can visit info.myORCA.com/contactless

We recommend removing your ORCA card from your wallet before tapping. The card readers, if presented with multiple payment options simultaneously, should default to reading an ORCA card first but it isn't guaranteed.

⚽  Soccer is back at Lumen Field this week!  You can take transit to watch the Sounders in the Champions Cup Quarterfinals.

Tap to Pay using your credit or debit card makes it easier than ever to get to games. No need to stand in long lines at ticket vending machines if you don't have an ORCA card!
