NEW SPACE: Parking, Transport & Family Validation

City Life, News | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We now have a new Sunday gathering space but, if you drove on Sunday, you likely found it difficult to locate a parking space.

The annual ComicCon took place over the weekend at the Convention Center so all the visiting zombies, aliens and Trekkies occupied the streets. Parking will be a continual hurdle given our calling and context as an urban people. Let’s ask Jesus to (1) give us favor with a nearby parking garage company/owner, or (2) bring someone into our body who desires to subsidize the cost of parking for the church. Until then, we have the following recommendations.

Parking.

Street parking is free on Sundays downtown. In general, with the exception of occasional conferences, you should be able to secure a spot within a two block radius of Pacific Place. If you need to drive, allow additional time to locate parking. We also encourage you to consider carpooling.

Transportation.

We have put together several resources to help you plan alternate transportation to our Sunday gathering HERE. Pacific Place is very convenient for public transport, whether you’re coming from the U-District or Rainier Valley. Both the Light Rail and the bus have a stop in the Metro tunnel one block away.

Family & Special Needs Validation.

Beginning this Sunday (4/8), we will offer 3-hours of validated parking to families and those with special needs (medical, health or otherwise). Drop by Cornerstone Kids with your Pacific Place Garage parking ticket for validation. In order to be wise stewards, we do ask that you attempt to locate nearby street parking before opting for the garage.

Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to be inconvenienced in this exciting season. Even here, with something as mundane as parking, we have an opportunity to display the truth of the gospel.
