About this Location

Facility Overview

The West Garage, located at 930 King St in Silver Spring, Maryland, is a secure, multi-level structured parking facility designed to serve the bustling residential, retail, and commuter community at the southern gateway of Montgomery County. Situated within the dynamic Blairs district adjacent to the Washington, D.C. border, the garage features generous driving aisles, well-demarcated bays, and covered parking decks that shield vehicles from year-round weather. The structure easily accommodates standard sedans, crossovers, compact cars, and mid-to-large SUVs. Due to overhead clearance restrictions typical of multi-deck urban garages (generally around 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet), drivers of high-roof conversion vans, lifted utility trucks, or vehicles carrying rooftop cargo boxes should check posted height warning bars at the entrance before proceeding inside.
