About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 610 is a conveniently positioned open-air surface parking lot situated at 89E E St NW in the vibrant Capitol Hill / Judiciary Square corridor of Northwest Washington, DC. Because it is an outdoor, grade-level facility, it avoids the low vertical ceiling limitations typically encountered in downtown DC underground parking garages. This makes Lot 610 an exceptional choice for drivers operating taller vehicles, including full-size pickup trucks, lifted SUVs, commercial vans, and passenger vehicles with roof racks or cargo carriers. The lot features wide navigational lanes and clear bay striping, allowing for straightforward maneuvering and stress-free entry and exit.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Given the heavy foot and vehicular traffic around Georgetown Law and the Capitol complex, peak morning arrival (between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM) can experience brief queues along E Street NW. Reserving a spot in advance through mobile parking aggregators is strongly recommended during Congressional hearing days, major campus symposia, or arena game nights. If navigating via GPS, ensure your navigation app directs you to E Street NW between New Jersey Avenue and North Capitol Street for the most direct turn-in.
