Parking

There are about 20 parking spaces behind the church, on an alley that runs between NE 80th and NE 77th east of 1st Ave NE. Please pay attention to the signage, and note that some spaces are double-stacked, so you may not be able to leave until the car behind you had moved away. You may also have to walk all the way around onto NE 80th or NE 77th and then onto 1st Ave NE to get to the Social Hall entry.

As an alternate, there is usually curb space on 1st Ave NE (especially on the East side. Or turn either way on NE 77th St for more space. This is all a single-family area, so parking is not so scarce.

Bus Service

Bus #16 stops right in front of the church. It runs all evening between Northgate and the Bainbridge ferry terminal via Wallingford, Fremont, Seattle Center, and downtown.
