(Washington Harbor and Harbor Parking)
Make
a left onto Rock Creek Parkway out of TBC parking lot. Quickly
move to the right lane, and take the first exit ramp to the right.
(It comes up very quickly, and it is a sharp turn). At the end
of the ramp, make a right onto K Street (also called Water Street).
When you make this right, you should go down underneath the Whitehurst
Freeway. Be sure not to make an immediate right up onto
the Whitehurst Freeway. Go straight on K Street (Water
Street); the Washington Harbor Parking garage is on the left inside
building. Further down K Street (Water Street) at Wisconsin Avenue,
there is another lot called Harbor Parking.
