Attendees will pay for parking at the yellow pay box that is centrally located in the parking lot. Visitor parking fees on weekends are $6.00. The pay box accepts cash, Visa, and MasterCard. Please be aware that parking is monitored at all times.

Town Hall: The best parking option is the Washington State Convention and Trade Center Main Garage, just 2 blocks north of Town Hall on 8th Ave. This garage is available both daytime ($6 all day) and evenings ($4 after 5pm) with a special voucher you can get from Town Hall. Just ask a member of the Town Hall staff for a voucher while you are here attending an event and receive the discount when you leave the garage. Please note: vouchers are only available for use while attending events at Town Hall.

There is a large pay lot immediately adjacent to Town Hall; enter the parking lot from Seventh Avenue, Spring or Seneca Streets. Additionally, several commercial parking lots are located within 1.5 blocks of Town Hall’s front door. Landmarks are: Washington State Convention and Trade Center, two blocks north; Freeway Park, just to the northwest; I-5 freeway, 1.5 blocks west, Virginia Mason Medical Center, one block east; and First Presbyterian Church, one block south.

New Hope Baptist Church: There is a small lot on 21st; lots of street parking.

    Hey folks,

    What kind of access will there be for spanish speakers and Deaf people? for instance,

    Are some of the workshops in spanish?
    Are the large events interpreted?
    Are Workshops interpreted?
    Is interpetation automatic or on request?

    I recognize it’s a challenging issue. I want to promote this to diverse communities, but I need to know what kind of access exists.

    Thanks

    One workshop – The Path to Immigration Reform – will be bilingual English/Spanish, with consecutive interpretation. We are hoping to provide sign and Spanish interpretation for the plenaries, and some of the other workshops, as needed. But we do need help to make this happen. We are looking for a coordinator and interpreters still. ANy help you and others can provide is much appreciated! Email info@seattleplus10.org or call 206.405.4600 if you can provide assistance. Thanks.
