eSIM Travel Tips for Seattle

Seattle Has T-Mobile's Strongest 5G in the US
T-Mobile is headquartered in Bellevue just east of Seattle and has exceptional 5G coverage throughout the metro area. South Lake Union, where Amazon is based, Belltown, and Capitol Hill all have some of the fastest 5G speeds in the country. Excellent for data-heavy tasks and video calls throughout the city.
Pike Place Market Has Full Coverage
Pike Place Market and the surrounding First Avenue streets all have strong 5G. The famous fish-throwing area, the first Starbucks, and the market arcade are all covered. Great for social media from one of the US's most iconic markets.
Bainbridge Island Ferry: Signal Fades Mid-Sound
The Washington State Ferry from Colman Dock to Bainbridge Island has 5G near the Seattle terminal. Signal is good for the first mile or two of the crossing. Mid-Sound can have weaker signal. Download offline maps of Bainbridge before boarding.
Link Light Rail From Sea-Tac to Downtown
The Link Light Rail runs from Sea-Tac Airport through downtown Seattle to Northgate. It has 4G and 5G at all above-ground and outdoor stations. Downtown tunnel stations also have 4G coverage. A great option for getting from the airport to the city.
Know the Emergency Number in the US
The US emergency number is 911. Save it before Olympic Peninsula hikes, ferry crossings, or outdoor activities in the Cascades. Emergency calls work on any active eSIM in the US.

Seattle Mobile Network Guide

Seattle has excellent 5G and 4G LTE coverage across most of the city. T-Mobile has the most extensive 5G coverage in Seattle and the greater metro area, partly due to its Bellevue headquarters and regional investment. Verizon and AT&T both provide strong 5G in central Seattle, Capitol Hill, and the tech corridor.

Downtown Seattle, Pike Place Market, the waterfront, and Pioneer Square all have full 5G and 4G coverage. Capitol Hill and the Seattle Central area have strong 5G. South Lake Union, home to Amazon's headquarters, has excellent 5G indoor and outdoor. University District and the University of Washington campus have strong 4G and 5G. Belltown and the Seattle centre (Space Needle) area are fully covered.

Neighborhoods: Queen Anne, Fremont, Ballard, and Wallingford all have solid 4G and 5G. West Seattle, across the West Seattle Bridge, has 4G and 5G throughout the Junction neighbourhood and Alki Beach.

The main dead zones are in the Olympic Peninsula wilderness to the west, the Cascade foothills to the east, and specific tunnel sections in the downtown transit tunnel and some elevated highway sections. The SR-99 Alaskan Way Tunnel has limited signal in the tunnel section. The light rail subway stations and tunnels have coverage.

The Puget Sound waterways, including the ferry to Bainbridge Island and the ferries to Bremerton and Kingston, have 4G and 5G near Seattle terminal and good coverage for the first portion of the crossing.

Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you online all year.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) has 5G and 4G coverage throughout all terminals, concourses, international arrivals, and the Rental Car Facility. Your HelloRoam eSIM connects as soon as your phone detects the US network after landing.

The SR-519 elevated sections and the full surface light rail in Rainier Valley have full coverage. The Sounder commuter rail also has coverage at stations. Kiwi travellers should activate their eSIM before boarding so they have data when they land.
