Convention Center parking rates range from free (0-15 minutes) to a $16 maximum for 4+ hours (subject to change). Touch-free payment is available through the Flowbird app. We recommend you download the app ahead of time for a faster and more seamless experience. Electronic pay stations are also available on-site and are easy to use. Both options will be familiar to those who park in Tacoma’s downtown core.
Event planners also have the option to arrange validations, making the process streamlined for those who want to pre-arrange patron event parking.
In partnership with Republic Parking Northwest, Inc., we strive to explore opportunities to enhance the service offered to our patrons. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to speak with your Sales Manager, Event Manager, or contact Republic Parking directly at 253.627.4401.
