Parking & Directions :

The Chippewa will be docked at Dock A near the Foss Waterway Seaport Museum (705 Dock St, Tacoma, WA 98402).

Recommended Parking:
Guests are strongly encouraged to park at one of the following locations:

• The Fish Peddler Parking Lot
• Museum of Glass Underground Garage

From there, a free shuttle will be running on a continuous loop to and from the Seaport Museum throughout the evening. This will be the easiest and most reliable option for parking, as nearby lots (including those in front of and behind the Seaport) will be full or reserved for race participants.

The shuttle will operate until 10:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the event and return to your vehicle at your convenience.
