Facility Overview
The LAZ Parking facility at 900 17th Street, N.W. is a secure, professionally managed underground garage situated in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s vibrant Golden Triangle and Central Business District. Positioned just south of K Street and steps from Farragut Square, this facility offers dependable, sheltered off-street parking ideal for daily commuters, business travelers, and visitors to the nation\'s capital. The facility features a clean subterranean layout with marked stalls, well-illuminated driving lanes, and elevator/stairwell pedestrian access directly into the building concourse and street level. Due to standard underground architecture, maximum vehicle clearance is typically restricted to 6\'4\" (76 inches). This makes the garage perfectly suited for passenger sedans, sports cars, station wagons, and compact to standard mid-size SUVs; however, high-roof conversion vans, oversized commercial trucks, and vehicles with rooftop cargo carriers will exceed height restrictions and should seek surface alternatives.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are situated along 17th Street NW, a prominent southbound one-way thoroughfare through downtown Washington. Drivers approaching from Northern Virginia can quickly reach the facility via the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bridge (I-66/Route 50) or the Key Bridge, connecting into K Street or Constitution Avenue. Those traveling from Maryland or upper Northwest D.C. can navigate south down Connecticut Avenue or 16th Street NW to ease into 17th Street.
For multi-modal transit options, the garage sits in arguably one of the most transit-connected nodes in the metropolitan area. The Farragut West Metro Station (serving the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) and the Farragut North Metro Station (serving the Red Line) are both within a 2 to 4-minute walk, providing frictionless regional travel across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Numerous WMATA Metrobus routes and DC Circulator buses also stop along K Street and around Farragut Square.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because 17th Street NW is a heavily traveled one-way corridor, plan your route in advance and position your vehicle in the right lanes when approaching from K Street. Morning rush hour (7:30 AM to 9:30 AM) and evening departure periods (4:30 PM to 6:30 PM) experience significant street congestion; arriving early not only ensures smoother access but often qualifies drivers for lower early-bird daily tariffs. If you are visiting for meetings or tourism, reserving your parking reservation in advance via digital parking platforms guarantees an assigned stall even during busy congressional sessions and downtown events.
