Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Seattle Kraken began play in 2021 as an NHL expansion team—the league's first expansion team since the Vegas Golden Knights joined in 2017—with every home game played at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle Center. The building's physical structure dates to 1962, originally built as the Washington State Pavilion for that year's World's Fair. It was renamed Seattle Center Coliseum after 1964 renovations, then completely rebuilt and renamed KeyArena in 1995. Between 2018 and 2021, the arena underwent a $1.15 billion redevelopment that preserved its landmark roof and glass curtain wall while rebuilding nearly everything else, reopening as Climate Pledge Arena in October 2021 in time for the Kraken's inaugural season—the team's home opener came on October 23, 2021.
- Current home: Climate Pledge Arena (2021–present)—also known as Washington State Pavilion (1962–1964), Seattle Center Coliseum (1964–1995), and KeyArena (1995–2018) under its earlier names for the same building

The same building was the longtime home of the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics from 1967 until their contested 2008 relocation to Oklahoma City, where they became the Thunder. If you're tracking that history too, Ticket Timeline's Oklahoma City Thunder tracker covers the SuperSonics-era games at this same arena.
