The Seattle Polar Plunge & 5K is a fundraising event that supports Special Olympics Washington. It combines a cold-water plunge with a community 5K walk and run.

The event takes place at the north end of Warren G. Magnuson Park, near the swimming area at 6505 NE 65th St, Seattle, WA 98115. Parking is available and on-site signage will direct attendees to designated lots. The day includes check-in periods, an opening program, staging for plunges, and scheduled plunges and runs.
