About this Location

Facility Overview

The West Parking Garage is a dedicated multi-level parking structure located at 9365 SW Barnes Road on the western edge of the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center campus in the West Haven-Sylvan neighborhood, directly bordering Portland and Beaverton. Serving as one of the primary parking facilities for the medical campus, this multi-tier garage provides direct, sheltered access to major hospital buildings, notably the Mother Joseph Health Center, the West Pavilion, Basecamp Prevention + Wellness, and the emergency department facilities.

The garage accommodates standard passenger sedans, minivans, station wagons, crossovers, and standard-sized pickup trucks and SUVs across multiple structured decks. Clear vertical clearance bars and signage are posted at each entry portal (standard garage clearance is approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet). Drivers of high-top commercial conversion vans, lifted heavy-duty trucks, or vehicles equipped with high roof carriers should verify posted overhead clearance before entering. Providence St. Vincent also maintains an adjacent surface RV and oversized-vehicle lot near the campus perimeter for vehicles exceeding parking garage dimensions.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Drivers can reach the facility quickly from both US-26 (Exit 69B for Barnes Rd/Park Way) and the northern terminus of Highway 217. Ingress is managed smoothly via SW Barnes Road, turning onto the internal medical center campus loop roads that guide motorists straight into the West Garage decks. Wide two-way driving lanes, clearly marked ramps, and directional wayfinding arrows ensure steady interior traffic flow even during morning rush periods and shift changes.

For regional transit users, the Sunset Transit Center MAX Light Rail station (serving the Red and Blue MAX lines as well as multiple TriMet bus routes) is situated only 0.4 miles away (a 7 to 10-minute walk or brief bus connection). TriMet bus lines, including Line 20, also stop right along Barnes Road directly in front of the medical complex, linking riders to downtown Portland, Gresham, and Beaverton.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering the garage, take note of your level and the color-coded pillars to easily locate your car upon departure. If visiting the Mother Joseph Health Center or Basecamp Wellness, use the western elevator bank and take it to Floor "G" (Ground), which exits right at the building threshold. Although parking is free without ticketing, spaces fill quickly during peak weekday clinic hours (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM); arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to scheduled medical appointments ensures ample time to locate a spot and check in. In the event of a dead battery or trouble finding your vehicle late at night, Providence Security can be reached 24 hours a day at 503-216-2032.
