Parking Beneath Columbia Center
The most direct choice is the underground garage beneath Columbia Center at 701 5th Avenue. The building lists over 700 parking spaces, with Zip Cars and EV charging stations included in the facility (columbiacenterseattle.com). Its position under the tower is useful for visitors heading to the retail atrium, offices, or Sky View Observatory without crossing downtown streets.
A driving direction sheet for the Columbia Tower Club lists the Columbia Center Garage at $36 all day and says drivers should take the parking ticket when leaving the car because tickets can be validated at the destination (kotterinc.com). The garage is therefore the principal attraction parking option supported by the building and visitor-driving information.
Parksy Spaces Beside the Tower
The closest listed Parksy option is a driveway space at Seattle Municipal Tower Garage, 78 yd from Columbia, while a covered space at the same garage is also 78 yd away. Both are close enough to make the walk a practical alternative to entering the building garage.
Covered parking at Seattle City Hall Garage is 105 yd away, and two further Seattle spaces are each 109 yd away. The nearby listings include a garage space and a parking space in the Ballard Blocks 2 area.
Other Downtown Parking Around 5th Avenue

The same facility publishes monthly parking at $275 for an unreserved space (oneparking.com). The official building information places the attraction garage below the tower, while the One Parking listing supplies a separate tariff schedule for its named facility. Drivers comparing the two should use the facility name and entrance details shown at the point of booking.
Downtown Pressure and Street Parking
Columbia sits in Seattle's downtown core, 108 yd from Seattle center, so demand can build quickly when offices, retail, dining, and the tower's visitor destinations are active. The building contains a three-story retail atrium and Sky View Observatory, adding several reasons for short visits as well as longer stays (columbiacenterseattle.com).
The available operator information identifies underground garage parking, Zip Cars, and EV charging stations at the building, but it does not provide a street-parking schedule or surrounding-street restrictions. Drivers using curb spaces should follow the posted Seattle signs and pay attention to any time limits, payment instructions, loading rules, or event controls on the selected block.
Walking From Union Station
Union Station is the nearest station listed for Columbia. The station is 0.4 mi away, with a 9 min walk to 701 5th Avenue, making rail a workable option when downtown driving is busy.
From Seattle center, the site is 108 yd away. Visitors arriving by rail can therefore avoid searching for a curb space and continue on foot from Union Station, while drivers can use the underground garage or a nearby reserved space before walking the final distance.
