General Notes
Parking is for use by athletes while rowing or staff while working.
Independent patrol staff issue tickets to unauthorized vehicles.
40 Spaces in "The Triangle" between Harvard Ave E and Eastlake Ave E are fully available to members.
12 additional spaces in the small lot (image below) are available before 8 AM.
Parking Alternatives:
Carpooling to PRC reduces traffic and builds community.
Riding a bike is a great way to get to the PRC and get a warm-up as well.
King County Metro can be an option for many of our daytime users. Over 50% of some regional youth teams take the bus to and from practice.
More information about Parking:
In 2018, the George Pocock Rowing Foundation formed an LLC, Eastlake Community Service Partners (ECSP), to secure parking for our clients and members. These spaces are shared by the members of ECSP: George Pocock Rowing Foundation, Home Instead, Seattle Spine and Sports Medicine, Wallace-Solhaug Dentistry. Sushi Kappo Tamura and Eastlake Chiropractic. ECSP also rents parking spaces to other users to help defray the expense of securing and operating the parking lot.
The Triangle Parking Lot is leased from WSDOT while their contractors complete the "Rest of the West" SR 520 project. This is expected to be complete in 2030.

“It is hard to make the boat go as fast as you want to. The enemy, of course, is the resistance of the water, as you have to displace the amount of water equal to the weight of the men and equipment, but that very water is what supports you and that very enemy is your friend. So is life: the very problems you must overcome also support you and make you stronger in overcoming them.”
