18. Climate Pledge Arena: Seattle's Sustainable Showcase

Located in the heart of Seattle Center, Climate Pledge Arena is more than just a state-of-the-art sports venue—it’s a bold statement about the future of sustainability in entertainment. Home to the NHL’s Seattle Kraken and the WNBA’s Seattle Storm, this arena has set a new global standard as the world’s first net-zero carbon-certified arena, meaning it operates entirely on renewable energy and aims for zero waste. The arena’s design is a stunning blend of historical preservation and modern innovation. While it boasts cutting-edge technology, including all-electric operations and a unique rainwater collection system used to resurface the ice for Kraken games, it also maintains the original 1962 World’s Fair roofline, preserving a key piece of Seattle’s architectural heritage. The fusion of old and new makes Climate Pledge Arena both a visual and environmental masterpiece.
