Directions and Parking
Copperworks is located on Seattle’s downtown waterfront, a short walk from other fun spots like Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium, the Great Wheel, the Seattle Art Museum, and more.
We’re on the east side of Alaskan Way on the corner of University Street, set back quite a way from the street itself, facing the waterfront. We’re close to the base of the Harbor Steps.
Construction Alert: The Seattle waterfront is undergoing a lot of construction, so you may run into some detours, blocked streets, etc. as you approach the distillery.
Parking Validation
Copperworks is glad to offer parking validation tickets for guests visiting our Seattle Distillery and Tasting Room on a first come, first served basis. These tickets are valid for up to two hours of parking only at the Pike Place Market Garage located at 1531 Western Avenue. To receive a parking validation ticket, please see a Copperworks team member following your tasting or tour.
FREE Waterfront Shuttle
From July 17 to September 24, 2023, Seattle’s free waterfront shuttle is back in service. The shuttles have more than 20 seats, are ADA accessible, and run every 15 minutes every day of the week from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The shuttle runs from the Seattle Center (Space Needle) down the waterfront to Pioneer Square. One of the stops will drop you off right next to Copperworks!

Street Parking

Free parking on Sundays: parking on the waterfront is free for the amount of time posted on the street (2 or 4 hours).
