Disability parking

Disability parking is available at this entrance. If you are mobility impaired, tell the traffic guide and you will be accommodated.

Parking validation

Parking validation is provided by the UW Medical Center for families with appointments at most CHDD clinics in the "pay-as-you-enter" lots S1 and E12. Request parking validation at the CHDD clinic you are visiting. The parking fee is determined by the length of your stay.

For Visitors to CHDD

Unless arrangements have been made in advance, most visitors to the various units of CHDD will park in the East Campus lot (E12) near Husky Stadium. The E12 lot is located across Montlake Boulevard from the UWMC. Disability parking is also available at this entrance. If your mobility impairment prohibits almost all walking, please notify CHDD prior to your visit. Otherwise, self-identify to the traffic guide at the gatehouse and you will be accommodated.

Driving directions to the E12 lot

To reach this parking area from the east use State Route 520. Take the Montlake Boulevard exit. Turn right off the exit ramp and continue north on Montlake Blvd. crossing the drawbridge. Stay in the right-hand lane. At the second traffic light after the drawbridge, turn right in front of Husky Stadium. Continue to the gatehouse (Gate #8 on the map) and stop there for directions and a parking permit.

How to get from the E12 lot to CHDD

Use the pedestrian signals at the Montlake Blvd. and NE Pacific St. intersection to cross to the west side of Montlake Blvd. Head south on Montlake Blvd. toward the drawbridge. Just before the drawbridge, turn right onto an asphalt path that leads into a landscaped area of South Campus. Follow the asphalt path curving to the right and then bear left down the hill to Columbia Road, the street that runs between the UW Medical Center and CHDD. CHDD is housed in three buildings on your left. Signs point to the various units within CHDD.
