The clinic has limited parking adjacent to our building. Please refer to disability parking information if assistance is needed. Parking is limited in the University District. We do offer tokens for parking in several adjacent commercial parking lots. Please allow the necessary time for the procurement of parking. We recommend locating the clinic first, and then finding parking. View Clinic parking map

Disability parking

We have two entrances to the clinic, which are disability accessible:

  1. There is a Passenger Loading Zone in front of the Clinic on 15th Avenue NE with a ramp to the front disability accessible entrance and reception area of the clinic.
  2. There are 7 parking spaces behind the clinic, 2 of which are disability parking spaces. Parking in these spaces is on a first come, first serve basis. When you park in one of these 7 spaces, you or your driver must immediately obtain a UW Daily Commuter Ticket from the clinic receptionist to display on your dashboard. There is no charge for the use of this permit. When you leave the clinic, the UW Daily Commuter Ticket MUST be returned to the receptionist*. The use of our disability parking spaces require the display of your Washington State Disabled Parking permit, as well as the UW Daily Commuter Ticket*.

* Please note, that your vehicle will be ticketed and possibly towed if you do not display the appropriate permits on your dashboard.

Commercial parking lots near the clinic

When you have an appointment with us, we will provide you with tokens for parking in Shoppers Parking lots for a maximum of 3 hours at no charge to you. At the time of your appointment please, park in one of the lots listed below, then check in at our Reception Desk for parking tokens.

  1. Shoppers Parking lot, also known as the University Bookstore parking lot: entrance on NE 43rd Street between University Way NE and 15th Ave NE.
  2. Shoppers Parking lot: there are two entrances, one off of University Way NE by Radio Shack and another off Brooklyn Ave NE between NE 42nd Street and NE 43rd Street. This lot does not have an attendant. The sign says that you must pay before leaving your car, but you can deposit the parking tokens provided by the clinic when you return from your visit.

There is limited metered parking available on streets around the Clinic. In particular, Brooklyn Ave NE seems to be more available for metered parking.

  Alternative parking & shuttle service

At your own expense, you may choose to use the UW Central Plaza garage. The parking fee is posted at the attendant-house in the garage. The entrance to this garage is on 15th Avenue NE at 41st Street, which is one-half block south of the Clinic. If you need disability accommodation and the garage sign indicates "FULL," drive by the "FULL" sign and the garage attendant will assign you to a disability parking place near the entrance. Please contact the UW Parking Division at 206-685-1553 for further information.

The University's Dial-A-Ride service at 206-685-1511 can provide you with a ride to the clinic from any University parking lot, but not from the commercial non-UW lots. Call UW Dial-A-Ride directly to arrange for this service. Please note that this service needs at least 45 minutes advance notice to pick-up and drop-off. Arrangements for regularly scheduled pick-up and drop-off at preset times each week during the academic quarter can be made through their office.
