I stopped by this lot tonight and was completely surprised an SC was being built here, although still not open yet.
@Mrbrock Yes, it’s located on the west side, on ground level, of the parking garage. Near the entrance/exit of the parking garage on that side.
@CWhite That is definitely a strange observation with them hanging up on the right side. Hopefully not a mistake and the spaces will be restriped, as Mrbrock mentioned.
At first thought, this didn’t seem like a great location but there are a ton of popular places in this lot. It‘s very much out of the way for those traveling up and down I5, though.
For those not aware, a few of the places currently open in this lot are:
- Shake Shack
- Salt and Straw
- Sharetea
- McMenamins
- Kingpins
- Paris Baguette
- Crumbl Cookie
- Dave’s Hot Chicken
- Wildfin
- and several other popular places to eat that are more “common”
Personally, that’s quite a list of places to have in one relatively small lot. It shows on nights and weekends when parking is very hard to find, although I don’t think the parking situation was very high on their priority when building this area since there’s really not that many spots for the amount of businesses, including the parking garage which is somewhat out of view so doesn’t seem to be utilized much. I often see the non-garage lot completely full with many cars circling around and head straight to the garage and see only few cars in there.
Always nice to see more SC’s being built and I would expect this location to have medium to high utilization by out of towners. But good luck finding parking when the area is busy and you need to move your car after charging.
