Parking (green circle) will be on the east side of street mostly, with the back entrance to the Convention on the west side in the little parking lot near the marked pedestrian crossing. If you turn (east) down SW Washington Way along the tracks, just before the baseball field is a narrow and long parking lot on the east side of the building as well.
