Parking: We recommend that you park in UW-Tacoma lot WT31 at the corner of 21st and Jefferson for $7/day (you can find a map with all campus parking lots at their website). You can also park at Cragle Parking lot at the corner of 21st Street and C Street, though that lot only offers hourly parking. Those with hotel reservations are encouraged to park at their hotel lot. We anticipate over 160 conference attendees and parking may be limited.
