How to address upper level controllers?

Hi guys...brand new member and novice sim pilot.  If I understand correctly I am to contact airspace controllers if airport level services do not have a controller present.  So do I address them by their occupied position or what they're filling in for? 

ie. I'm ready to taxi at KSEA but there's no ground or tower controllers, so do I address the controller at Seattle Center as 'Seattle Ground' or 'Seattle Center'?

Seattle Center is how I do it as on vatsim its a top Down format so if center is on and ground or tower isnt then Center takes over

Address controllers by their advertised station name, not by the role they're covering top-down.

If you're parked at EHRD, and Amsterdam Radar covers top-down, you call them "Amsterdam Radar", not "Rotterdam Ground".
