About this Location

Facility Overview

Parking NW - NW 9th & Davis (Lot 267) is a convenient open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of Portland's bustling Pearl District at the corner of NW 9th Avenue and NW Davis Street. The lot features an organized, level asphalt layout that allows for rapid entry, straightforward stall navigation, and smooth parking maneuvers. Because it is a fully open-air surface lot without an overhead ceiling or low-clearance parking garage beams, there are no vertical height restrictions. This open layout makes it exceptionally suited for all passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, crew-cab pickup trucks, lifted 4x4s, work vans, and cars equipped with rooftop cargo containers or bike racks that cannot enter standard low-profile parking decks downtown.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located on the lively southern edge of the Pearl District adjacent to Couch9 Apartments, this lot places motorists within steps of top cultural, dining, shopping, and entertainment venues:

Portland Center Stage at The Armory: Less than a 4-minute walk (0.2 miles) west, making it an ideal staging spot for theater performances and matinees.
Powell's City of Books: Just a 3-minute stroll (under 2 blocks south) to Portland's iconic multistory bookstore flagship at Burnside and 10th.
North Park Blocks: Only 1 block east, offering shaded tree-lined public promenades, historical monuments, and outdoor art.
Brewery Blocks & Pearl Dining: Steps away from world-class dining and taprooms, including Deschutes Brewery, Fuller's Coffee Shop (directly across the street), Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine, World Foods, and local dessert spots like NOLA Doughnuts.
Roseland Theater & Crystal Ballroom: Within a 7 to 10-minute walk for evening concertgoers attending live shows across downtown's historic entertainment corridor.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress to the lot is located on NW 9th Avenue, just off NW Davis Street, with distinct Parking NW signage visible from both thoroughfares. The immediate street grid features straightforward one-way and two-way local lanes that streamline departure even after busy theater performances or evening dining rushes. Drivers heading into or out of town have rapid access to Interstate 405 (I-405) via nearby Everett and Glisan ramps, unlocking direct routes to Interstate 5 (I-5), US-26 towards Beaverton/Hillsboro, and Interstate 84 (I-84) across the Willamette River. For transit connections, the Portland Streetcar (NS Line and Central Loop A/B lines) runs along 10th and 11th Avenues just one block west, and multiple TriMet bus routes traverse West Burnside and NW Glisan.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Remember to note your license plate number before exiting your vehicle, as parking sessions are registered to your plate either at the on-site payment machine or via mobile payment platforms. During weekend evenings and major production nights at The Armory, spaces fill up briskly; arriving 15 to 20 minutes before curtain or reservation time ensures smooth stall selection. Because street parking along NW 9th and NW Davis is heavily congested and governed by short city meter limits, choosing this dedicated surface lot gives you extended stay options without the risk of on-street meter expirations.
