About this Location

Facility Overview

The East Parking Garage at 9185 SW Barnes Road is a primary multi-level structured parking facility serving the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center campus in the West Haven-Sylvan area, strategically situated along the boundary of Portland and Beaverton. Serving patients, visitors, and healthcare staff visiting the East Pavilion, outpatient clinics, and specialty medical offices, this garage offers an orderly multi-tier configuration engineered for smooth vehicular flow and direct hospital access. Standard passenger sedans, crossover utility vehicles, compact cars, and standard full-size SUVs can comfortably navigate the interior lanes and dedicated parking bays. However, drivers of high-profile commercial vans, lifted pickup trucks, or rooftop cargo haulers should verify clearance signs at the entrance (typically 7'0"); for taller vehicles or visitors traveling with recreational vehicles, the medical center provides an adjacent designated surface parking area near the East entrance.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated within the thriving healthcare corridor along SW Barnes Road, this parking deck provides direct pedestrian connections into Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, the East Pavilion Surgery Center, Northwest Cardiologists, Sunset Pediatrics, and the Travis Cross Guest Housing Center.

The facility is also easily accessible from Oregon Route 217, making regional arrival effortless. Inside the garage, clear directional signage, lane markings, and well-positioned elevators direct drivers quickly between parking bays and hospital lobbies. For public transportation users, the major Sunset Transit Center is located just northwest across the highway, connecting riders to the TriMet MAX Light Rail (Blue and Red Lines to downtown Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, and PDX Airport) as well as numerous local bus lines (including Routes 20, 48, 59, and 62).

Visitor & Driver Tips

When arriving for morning appointments, allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes during peak morning hours (8:30 AM to 10:30 AM) when clinic demand is highest. Make a mental or digital note of your level and section letter, as the garage floors share similar layouts. If you or your passenger experience mobility challenges, pull directly to the lower-level roundabout to take advantage of complimentary valet services. For vehicle security, lock all doors and stow personal valuables completely out of sight. If you need assistance finding your car or require a battery boost after hours, contact Providence Security directly at 503-216-2032.
