The Seattle Ice Arena was a 4,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Seattle, Washington, United States. It was home to the Seattle Metropolitans franchise of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association from 1915 to 1924, and their affiliated Seattle Vamps of the International Ladies' Hockey League in 1921.

Built in 1915 at the cost of $100,000,[1] the Ice Arena was located in downtown Seattle east of what is now the Olympic Hotel on University Street. It was developed as part of the University of Washington-owned University Tract by the Metropolitan Building Company, and was designed in a style compatible to other buildings nearby.[2] On March 26, 1917, the Metropolitans defeated the Montreal Canadiens at the arena, becoming the first American team to win the Stanley Cup. The arena was briefly a roller rink and was remodeled into a parking garage for the Olympic Hotel shortly after the 1923-24 season.[3] It was torn down in 1963 to make way for the IBM Building.[1]

Plaque, titled "Seattle Ice Arena." Subtitled "Home of the 1917 Stanley Cup Champions." Centers with a picture of the former arena. Caption saying "This plaque marks the site of the former Seattle Ice Arena, built in 1915 and home to the Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. In March of 1917, the Metropolitans became the first US team to win the Stanley Cup after a 3-1 series win over the Montreal Canadiens, This historic victory was cause for great celebration in Seattle and across the nation, just weeks before the US formally entered World War I. The Metropolitans hosted Montreal again two years later for the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals, which, due to an outbreak of influenza, was the only series in its history to end in a draw."
