Facility Overview
The Broadway Garage (Lot 77 / L77), operated by Parking NW, is a centrally situated, multi-level covered parking facility located at 632 SW Pine Street in the vibrant heart of Downtown Portland, Oregon. Positioned just off the bustling corridor of SW Broadway, this parking garage provides sheltered, off-street vehicle storage that safeguards cars from the Pacific Northwest rain. The multi-deck layout accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard minivans with ease. Given its structured design, the garage maintains a posted vertical clearance restriction of approximately 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters); therefore, lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and vehicles outfitted with oversized rooftop carriers or bike racks should exercise caution or seek nearby surface lot parking.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress to the Broadway Garage is located along SW Pine Street between SW Broadway and SW 6th Avenue. Drivers should be mindful of Downtown Portland\'s classic one-way grid pattern—Pine Street runs westbound, while adjacent Broadway flows northbound and 6th Avenue carries southbound traffic. The facility offers seamless transit connectivity: the MAX Light Rail system operates across the Portland Transit Mall (SW 5th & 6th Avenues) just half a block away, serving the Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Blue lines. Quick highway connectivity is provided via SW 4th Avenue and West Burnside Street leading directly toward Interstate 405 (I-405), Highway 26, and the Burnside Bridge connecting to the east side of the river.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the garage, watch carefully for pedestrian traffic and bicycle lanes that parallel downtown streets. Because Downtown Portland features active MAX Light Rail tracks along 5th and 6th Avenues, take note of train-only signals and turning restrictions when entering or exiting Pine Street. During high-profile weekend concerts at the Roseland Theater or holiday shopping rushes, spaces can fill quickly; arriving early or reserving parking through supported digital apps is highly recommended to secure your space and avoid event rate surges.
