About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated along the vital east-west thoroughfare of K Street in Washington, D.C., Colonial Parking at 90 K St NW provides a secure, well-maintained parking option at the convergence of Mount Vernon Triangle, NoMa, and the Capitol Hill corridor. The facility is a covered, multi-level parking garage engineered with clear directional signage, bright LED illumination, and designated driving lanes that allow for seamless vehicular movement. The facility accommodates standard passenger vehicles including sedans, compact crossovers, and standard mid-size SUVs. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks, oversized conversion vans, or commercial vehicles with high roof racks should heed posted maximum overhead clearance restrictions (typically 6\'4\" to 6\'8\" for modern downtown garages) before driving down entry ramps.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This parking facility offers a strategic, highly connected base for exploring both downtown D.C. and historic Capitol Hill neighborhoods:

  • Washington Union Station (approx. 8–10 minutes walking): A major national travel and transit hub offering Amtrak regional and long-distance trains, MARC and VRE commuter lines, and a vast shopping and dining concourse.
  • Walter E. Washington Convention Center (approx. 12–15 minutes walking): D.C.\'s premier event venue hosting global conferences, political gatherings, auto shows, and expos.
  • Capital One Arena & Penn Quarter / Chinatown (approx. 15 minutes walking): Home of the Washington Wizards (NBA) and Washington Capitals (NHL), as well as a premier destination for world-class concerts, comedy tours, and nightlife.
  • Mount Vernon Triangle & NoMa Commercial Hubs: Steps away from prominent corporate offices, association headquarters, government agencies (including nearby ATF and SEC facilities), and popular dining spots along K and 1st Streets.
  • Gonzaga College High School & St. Aloysius Church: Located just one block south, making this a reliable option for school sports events and parish activities.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicle entry and exit ramps are situated along K Street NW, providing straightforward access for vehicles traveling east or west across central Washington. The location sits immediately adjacent to North Capitol Street NW, offering quick, direct links north toward Silver Spring and Maryland, or south toward the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall. For travelers connecting to the regional freeway network, Interstate 395 and Interstate 695 are quickly reached via New York Avenue or the 3rd Street Tunnel. Public transit connectivity is superb: Union Station Metro (Red Line) and Mt Vernon Sq 7th St-Convention Center Metro (Green/Yellow Lines) are both within walking distance, and several Metrobus routes (such as the D4, 96, and P6) stop nearby.

Visitor & Driver Tips

  • Plan Around Peak Rush Hours: North Capitol Street and K Street experience heavy commuter volume between 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM; allow extra transit time if traveling during these windows.
  • Pre-Book Your Parking: Utilize online apps like SpotHero or Colonial Parking\'s direct booking portal to secure discounted early-bird rates and guarantee a spot during major downtown events or conventions.
  • Keep Your Ticket or Digital Confirmation Handy: Retain your entry ticket or digital barcode on your smartphone to ensure quick validation at exit gates or walk-up pay stations.
  • Check Height Clearances: If you drive a roof-racked SUV, ski carrier, or raised truck, inspect the overhead clearance bar at the entrance before descending into the garage.
