## Parking Beneath Tacoma Art Museum on Pacific Avenue

The most direct option is the parking lot beneath Tacoma Art Museum at 1701 Pacific Avenue. Spaces marked TAM are underneath the building, with payment available by cash or card at the meter near the TAM entrance (Tacoma Art Museum). The lot is ADA-accessible, and an elevator connects the parking level with the main Museum lobby (tacomaartmuseum.org).

Parking costs $2 an hour, with an all-day rate of $12 for up to 10 hours (tacomaartmuseum.org). The museum is open Thursday and Friday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM (tacomaartmuseum.org), so those are the useful arrival windows for a museum visit. The parking map places the lot by Pacific Avenue, Commerce Street, C Street, Jefferson Street, Market Street, Fawcett Street, 9th Street and 7th Street (tacomaartmuseum.org).

## Busy Downtown Periods and Street Parking Around TAM

Thursday and Friday evening visits can run later because the museum stays open until 8 PM, while Saturday and Sunday visits fall within the 10 AM to 5 PM opening period (tacomaartmuseum.org). Weekend daytime parking therefore lines up with the museum’s full public opening hours, making the underground lot a practical first stop rather than relying on a curbside space.

Additional parking immediately around the museum is also managed as part of the surrounding parking supply (tacomaartmuseum.org). The official parking map identifies Pacific Avenue, Commerce Street, C Street, Jefferson Street, Market Street, Fawcett Street, 9th Street and 7th Street around the site (tacomaartmuseum.org).

## Other Named Parking Options Near Tacoma Art Museum

Its published rate information includes $2 for 1 to 2 hours, $4 for 2 to 3 hours and $8 for 4 to 5 hours (rpnw.com).

The official museum parking map also labels a parking lot beside the museum area, with Pacific Avenue, Commerce Street, C Street, Jefferson Street, Market Street and Fawcett Street shown as the surrounding access streets (tacomaartmuseum.org). The museum’s visitor guidance specifically directs drivers to spots marked TAM underneath the building, so the Downtown Lot and the underground TAM spaces should be treated as distinct choices when following signs on arrival (tacomaartmuseum.org).

## Parksy Parking Spaces Within Walking Distance of TAM

Parksy lists two secure parking lots in Tacoma, each 0.6 mi from the site, at $20 a day. These are useful for drivers who prefer an off-site lot to the museum’s underground spaces, especially when a full day is planned downtown.

Two secure garage spaces are listed 0.7 mi away. The monthly options suit repeat visitors or downtown workers more than a single museum trip, while the two daily lots provide a simpler short-stay choice.

## Tacoma Station and Walking Access to the Museum

Tacoma station is the nearest station to the site, at 0.8 mi and a 17-minute walk. The route gives visitors a practical alternative to driving when the underground lot or nearby downtown parking is inconvenient.

The museum is 218 yd from Tacoma center, placing it within the central Tacoma area rather than on an isolated suburban site. Visitors arriving by rail can walk from Tacoma station to 1701 Pacific Avenue, while drivers using the city center can combine a downtown parking space with the remaining walk to the galleries.
