About this Location

Facility Overview

Parking 3 - Patient & Visitor Parking is a multi-level concrete parking garage situated at 2149 NW Marshall Street in the heart of Portland's historic Northwest District (Nob Hill / Alphabet District). Functioning primarily as an integral parking facility for the Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center campus, this structure directly serves Good Samaritan Building 3, the Comprehensive Cancer Center, Devers Eye Institute, and neighboring specialty medical practices. The garage features clearly delineated one-way ramps, wide driving lanes, elevator banks, and covered multi-deck parking that keeps vehicles sheltered from rainy Pacific Northwest weather year-round.

Drivers should note that this structure is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, compact cars, station wagons, minivans, and mid-size crossovers or stock full-size SUVs. Due to overhead structural beams, piping, and hanging signage, the facility carries a standard low-clearance vertical ceiling limit (approximately 6 feet 8 inches). Oversized vehicles, such as lifted four-wheel-drive trucks, commercial high-roof cargo vans, and vehicles equipped with high rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks, should exercise extreme caution or utilize ground-level surface parking, metered neighborhood street spaces, or the hospital campus valet service available at the main hospital entrance on NW 22nd Avenue.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Obtain Parking Validation: If visiting any Legacy Good Samaritan clinic, provider, or outpatient department, always bring your entry parking ticket with you to your appointment desk to receive parking validation, which significantly reduces or eliminates garage parking fees.
Mind Overhead Clearance: With a typical clearance threshold around 6'8", avoid entering with elevated roof racks, oversized cargo capsules, or commercial utility vans.
Arrive Early During Midday Peak: Peak clinic hours run Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM; planning an extra 10 to 15 minutes allows comfortable navigation to find a spot on the upper levels.
Look for Directional Signage to Lower EV Ports: EV charging units are located on the lower parking level and are best accessed via designated internal downward ramps.
Neighborhood Streetcar Alternative: If heading to games at Providence Park or dining in the Pearl District, leave your vehicle securely parked and hop on the Portland Streetcar at 22nd & Lovejoy for a quick, traffic-free hop across Northwest Portland.
