Facility Overview
Lot #130 at 522 NW Everett Street provides convenient, open-air surface parking at the energetic crossroads of Portland\'s historic Old Town Chinatown and the vibrant Pearl District. Designed as an easily navigable street-level asphalt lot, this facility offers quick pull-in stalls with clear lane markings. Because it is completely open-air without an overhead ceiling or parking deck, the lot features unrestricted vertical clearance, making it exceptionally accommodating for oversized SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, camper vans, and passenger vehicles equipped with ski boxes, bike racks, or rooftop cargo gear that cannot fit into standard subterranean parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in one of Portland\'s most walkable and culturally rich sectors, Lot #130 places visitors within easy steps of celebrated dining, entertainment, and historic landmarks. The renowned Roseland Theater is just around the corner on NW 6th Avenue (under a 2-minute walk), making this an premier staging point for live concerts and evening shows. The serene Lan Su Chinese Garden is located just three blocks away (a 4-minute walk), and classic Portland destinations like Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade and Voodoo Doughnut are accessible within a 5-minute stroll. Visitors can also quickly reach the eclectic boutique shopping and galleries of the Pearl District, Powell\'s City of Books on West Burnside Street (approx. 7 minutes on foot), and the scenic Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Additionally, the Moda Center and Veterans Memorial Coliseum in the Rose Quarter are easily reachable across the Steel Bridge via a short transit ride or brisk walk.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility features direct vehicular ingress and egress from NW Everett Street, a key westbound corridor connecting the Willamette River bridges to northwest Portland. The lot sits directly adjacent to the NW 5th and 6th Avenue transit corridors, placing drivers in immediate proximity to the TriMet MAX Light Rail system (Green, Orange, and Yellow Lines) and regional bus lines. Portland Union Station (Amtrak and Cascades train lines) is located just four blocks north (approx. a 5-minute walk). Motorists traveling from outside the core downtown area benefit from seamless access to the Steel Bridge, Burnside Bridge, Interstate 5 (I-5), and Interstate 405 (I-405), ensuring effortless post-event departures and straightforward cross-town navigation.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because NW Everett Street and nearby 5th and 6th Avenues experience heavy traffic during evening rush hours and major concerts at Roseland Theater, arriving 30 to 45 minutes prior to scheduled showtimes is strongly advised. Pay upon parking via the automated payment machine or the designated mobile parking app, making sure to enter your license plate number accurately. Always practice good downtown parking habits by securing your vehicle and taking all personal items and visible valuables with you.
