Parking

Carpooling is strongly recommended.

Queen Anne Lutheran has neighborhood street parking.

St. Alphonsus Catholic has a parking lot.

St. Andrews Episcopal has neighborhood street parking.

  • Street Parking – Please be sure you are not blocking a driveway or parking closer than 5 feet away from a driveway.
  • Alley Parking – If you park in our alley between First and Second Avenues in a spot behind another car, please leave your cell phone number in a note on the dashboard so the person you park behind can reach you if they need to leave.

Gethsemane Lutheran has a limited number of spaces available on Saturdays in the parking deck next to the church, and there is no guarantee that they would be available if church staff or members are using them.  There are several large parking decks within a block of the church.  There is also adequate street parking within a block of the church on Stewart, Ninth, and Eighth Avenues at an hourly cost of $2.50 – $3.00.

The Westlake Whole Foods is three blocks from the church, and provides up to two hours of free parking (in the deck at 2200 Weslake Avenue, Seattle, WA 98121) with validation of a purchase (see lunch options below.)  Up to three hours costs $7. If walking to the church from Whole Foods, take a sharp left onto Ninth Avenue after leaving the store.
