Where to Watch the Seahawks Near Bothell

High-top tables and booths filling up before kickoff at Rooneys near Bothell

If you are in Bothell and looking for somewhere to watch the Seahawks, Rooneys Sports Bar is about five minutes northeast at 17626 140th Ave NE in the Woodinville Towne Center. Twenty big-screen TVs, a 12-foot projector, free parking in the lot, and every game on DirecTV and Comcast.

It is a straight shot up SR-522 to 140th, and unlike a lot of the closer options you are not fighting for a parking spot or watching the game over somebody’s shoulder.

Why people drive up from Bothell

Bothell has grown a lot, and the bar situation has not entirely kept up with it. Plenty of good restaurants, a few brewery taprooms, but on a Sunday in the fall there is a difference between a place with a TV on and a place actually built around the game.

Here is what you get for the five minutes:

Every screen is on the game. Twenty big-screen TVs plus a 12-foot projector, running both DirecTV and Comcast, so there is no negotiating over what is on and no bad seat. If you follow an out-of-market team or you are tracking a fantasy roster, ask the bar and we will put it up.

Free parking, right outside. No garages, no meters, no circling. The lot is at the door.

Nobody rushes you out. Open until 2 a.m., seven nights a week, with the kitchen running late. A game going long is not a problem here.

This season is the one to do it

The Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions after beating New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX back in February, and the 2026 season opens at home on Wednesday, September 9 against those same Patriots at 5:20 p.m.

Seattle also drew six primetime games this year, a franchise record, plus the first Christmas game in team history against the Rams on Friday, December 25.

Our 2026 Seahawks season guide has every date, kickoff time and broadcast channel.

Gear giveaways this fall

We are giving away Seahawks gear at every Seahawks game through the end of the season. Get a raffle entry with the purchase of a beverage during the game, numbers are called at the end, and whoever wins picks their item off the rack. You have to still be here when your number comes up.

Full details are here.

Early kickoffs

Most Sundays during football season the first wave of NFL games kicks at 10 a.m. Pacific. We open early for that slate, so if you are driving up from Bothell for a morning game, the coffee and bloody marys will be going before kickoff.

Start times move week to week, so call (425) 481-3586 to confirm the day you are coming.

Food that is not an afterthought

The kitchen is scratch pub food: house-ground burgers, hand-cut wings in five sauces, Mondo Nachos, bacon cheese tots, a Bavarian-style pretzel with house queso, bacon-wrapped jalapeños and coconut shrimp.

During every Seahawks, Mariners and Kraken game there is an $11 hot dog, fries and a beer deal. And the kitchen serves food until last call every night — a limited fryer-only late-night menu — which matters if the game runs long or you want one more before the drive back. Full menu here.

Behind the bar: 12 beers on tap, an extensive whiskey, bourbon and scotch list, and scratch cocktails. Happy hour is 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

More than the broadcast

Halftime does not have to mean standing around. There are two of the only real pool tables left in the area, two league-ready electronic dartboards, Golden Tee, Godzilla pinball, shuffleboard, a Touch Tunes jukebox and 30 pull-tab bowls.

Pool is free all day Thursday, which is worth knowing for Thursday Night Football.

Bringing a group up

If you are organizing a group from Bothell for a big game, reserve a section and we will put your game on the screens you are sitting under. Give us a few days on the marquee dates.

Call (425) 481-3586 or use our Private Events page with your date and headcount.
