Facility Overview
The 1990 K Street Valet Garage, professionally managed by Atlantic Parking, is a premier subterranean parking facility located in the bustling heart of Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle commercial district. Situated directly along the famed K Street corridor, this underground parking deck features assisted valet services during high-volume business hours to optimize stall usage and ensure swift turnaround times. Because the facility is an enclosed underground structure, vertical clearance is restricted to standard passenger vehicles—typically 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m). While standard sedans, compact crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs can comfortably maneuver the garage, oversized full-size pickup trucks, lifted utility vehicles, and high-roof conversion vans will exceed clearance heights and should seek alternative surface lot parking in the area.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned along the nation\'s most prominent policy and business corridor, 1990 K Street offers immediate walking access to essential downtown Washington institutions, corporate headquarters, and dining establishments:
- Farragut Square & Murrow Park: Located just 2 to 3 blocks east, providing green open spaces and popular food truck gatherings during weekday lunch hours (3–5 minute walk).
- The George Washington University & Hospital: Situated 3 to 4 blocks west and south, making this an ideal remote parking point for campus visitors and medical offices (6–8 minute walk).
- The World Bank & International Monetary Fund (IMF): Located within 4 to 6 blocks south along Pennsylvania Avenue and 19th Street (8–10 minute walk).
- The White House & Lafayette Square: Approximately 6 blocks southeast, offering a convenient staging spot for government appointments and national mall exploration (12–15 minute walk).
- Dupont Circle: Less than half a mile north along Connecticut Avenue, giving visitors convenient access to historic rowhouses, boutiques, galleries, and vibrant nightlife (10 minute walk).
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress to the garage is located along 20th Street NW or the K Street service lanes, feeding directly into the covered parking descent. Due to Washington D.C.\'s one-way street grids and designated rush-hour turn restrictions, drivers approaching from Interstate 66 or the E Street Expressway should proceed north on 20th or 21st Street NW to line up their approach into 1990 K Street. The facility offers superb public transit connections for multi-modal commuters: the Farragut West Metro Station (Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) and Farragut North Metro Station (Red Line) are both within three blocks, allowing effortless connection to the entire DC, Maryland, and Virginia metropolitan network. Major WMATA bus lines run continuously across K Street, I Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Traffic along K Street NW can become heavily congested during morning (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) peak commuting windows. Reserving a space in advance using digital parking apps guarantees your spot and often secures early-bird discount rates when entering before 9:00 AM. Because valet attendants frequently manage vehicle placement, be prepared to leave your vehicle key with the attendant upon arrival, and ensure you retain your claim ticket. Note that the garage caters primarily to weekday business hours and may close during late evening hours and weekends; always verify your ticket return cutoff time with the attendant to prevent after-hours retrieval delays.
