IIRC we camped near Bremerton, drove to one of the many open parking lots and took the ferry into Seattle. Mind you this was MANY years ago and things may have changed now.
When we left Washington 7 years ago, we lived in Manchester, Wa. They have agreat quiet state park. There used to be a foot ferry you could catch in Port orchard that would take you across the sound to Bremerton, then we would catch the ferry into downtown Seattle. From there you have access to almost all the downtownSeattle sites. You can walk to the Pikes place market! pier 41 market, the Space Needle, the science center, the aquarium, Ivars Fish and chips, etc, etc. living in Machester, we didn't want to fight the traffic either, and we could plan the day around the ferry schedules, and still have a great day!

This really is not a bad way to go because the ferry ride is one of the best kept scenic secrets of Seattle and the Puget Sound area.
Even so, parking south of the stadiums and walking or bussing into town won't be that difficult. If you do get near the Home Depot at first and Lander streets also next to the BIG Starbucks headquarters, be sure to swing into Pecos Pit BBQ for a treat.
