The building doors lock at 6pm, so either get there early, or look for a person or sign on the door with instructions on who to call to get let in.
We recommend public transit or biking - Prime is located one block from the Government Plaza light rail station, many bus stops (see below), and a couple bike-friendly roads.
<UL>
<LI>Bus: the 3, 7, 16, 50, 94 bus lines run along 4th St. Prime is also a block over from the Gateway Ramp and Transit Hub, which is a terminal for many urban and suburban bus lines.</LI>
<LI>Bike: There isn't indoor bike parking, so you'll need to lock up outside.</LI>
<LI>Car: If you're driving, we recommend parking in the <A HREF="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gateway+Parking+Ramp/@44.9786588,-93.2630379,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x64115ea0cfc565d3?sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwifpue298DWAhXGylQKHeL4D88Q_BIIejAK" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gateway ramp</A>, where we've got coupons for discounted parking.
