The Seattle Mariners 1994 season was their 18th since the franchise creation, and ended the season finishing third in the American League West, finishing with a 49–63 (.438) record. The season was cut short by the infamous 1994 player's strike, which began on August 12.[2]
The Mariners played their final twenty games on the road, due to interior ceiling repairs at the Kingdome;[3][4] they were 10–1 in August, and won their final six games.[2]

- April 4: The Mariners played in the first game at Cleveland's Jacobs Field. President Bill Clinton threw out the ceremonial first pitch, and the Indians won 4–3 in 11 innings.[11]
- June 17: In the Mariners' 65th game of the season, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his league-leading 30th home run off Kansas City Royals ace David Cone in a 5–1 win at Kauffman Stadium.
- July 8: Shortstop Alex Rodriguez made his major league debut at age 18.[12] It was at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox; Rodriguez was flawless in the field, but went hitless in three at bats.[13][14] He got his first major league hit the following day.[15]
By Friday, August 12, the Mariners had compiled a 49–63 (.438) record through 112 games and were only two games behind the Texas Rangers for the lead in the four-team AL West Division.[16] They had scored 569 runs (5.08 per game) and allowed 616 runs (5.50 per game).[17]
Slightly more than half of the 162 games scheduled were to be televised this season, with 72 on KSTW and sixteen on Prime Sports Northwest; of those 88 games, 65 were on the road and 23 at home.[1]
