Garage parking tips

There are two vehicle entrances:

• From 48th Ave W to Level B01 in the garage.
• From 44th Ave W to Level 1 in the garage. Keep a lookout for the entrance here as it’s easy to miss and accessible only going eastbound on 44th.  

If you drive into the center from 46th Ave you must turn at 202nd St or go onto the I-5 HOV ramp. Again, DO NOT drive into the bus loop!

ADA vans and oversized vehicles should enter from 48th Ave.

Use the marked pedestrian walkway. You will come and go out of the north side of the garage on level 1. Remember to follow the signs to get to your bus or the light rail station.

Allow extra time. Traveling from the upper floors of the garage and through the marked pedestrian walkway may take a few additional minutes. Plan your trip accordingly so you don’t miss your bus or train.
